Yoga is arguably the one Indian traditional system that has drawn interest from scholars and laypeople alike, worldwide. Right now, “yoga” is a popular term, and along with “computer” and “mobile,” I believe it has become a household name everywhere. Everybody who practices yoga, regardless of their profession—businessman, professional, politician, researcher, artist, student, athlete, housewife, or patient—finds it advantageous in some way. Yoga has emerged as a way to attain prosperity, efficiency, productivity, and wellness. As we examine yoga in its historical and contemporary contexts (see Feuerstein, 1989a, b; Murphy & Donovan, 1997), we can conclude that the practice’s breadth extends from straightforward relaxation to deep recognition.

 

Yoga as transformational psychology

Yoga as a psychology of transformation can be developed with the aid of both Kundalini Yoga and Patanjali’s Yoga Sūtra. The majority of recent studies have paid less attention to yoga as the ultimate state, samatvam, and stataprajnatva, as stated in BG, and more attention to styles of yoga such as Hatha, Raja, and Kundalini. The goal state, not the method, is the ultimate goal of all forms of yoga. “They are concerned with a state of being, or consciousness, that is truly extraordinary,” according to Feuerstein (1989a),  This is what unites them all.

A technique to self-transformation known as kundalini yoga is predicated on the belief that human beings have primal energy, albeit dormant state, and by following specific procedures, it is feasible to transform it from a potential to a kinetic state. According to traditional belief, the Kundalini Shakti, or awakened energy, moves through the chakras, which are found throughout the body from the base of the spine to the crown. Many mystics attest to their experienced reality, despite the fact that current anatomical procedures cannot uncover them through laboratory dissection of the human body. It is believed that awakened energy moves through the chakras in a methodical manner, ascending from the base to the top, with distinct physiological, psychological, and physical correlations.
