Gheranda Samhita is a text on practical yoga by Sage Gheranda. In this work he describes Lord Vishnu: Jale Vishnuthale Vishnu, which means Vishnu is in water and Vishnu is on land (6:18). In one or two places Lord Narayana is also described, implying that the sage adopted Vaishnava philosophy in his life as well as being an accomplished hatha yogi. His form of yoga brings out knowledge by beginning with the body and progressing all the way to the essence of the soul. An outline of practices is given within thisframework. Show more
