Now let us come to our discussion on Hatha Yoga. When we analyze Hatha Yoga is comprised of two words, one is ‘HA’ and ‘THA’. HA represents Prana (Lifeforce) and THA represents the mind (the conscious energy). If we combine these two, we get – the combination of Lifeforce with the force of Consciousness. When these two combine, the human gets a higher consciousness. According to Shiva Samhita, Chapter V – Verse 9, it is stated that there are four types of Yoga. First- Mantra Yoga, Second –Hatha Yoga, Third- Laya Yoga, and Fourth – Raja Yoga. It is also stated that Hatha Yoga cannot be performed without Raja Yoga, similarly, Raja Yoga can also not be performed without Hatha Yoga. In defining Hatha Yoga, we can say that it is the science of Yoga which can purify the whole physical body by performing Shatkarma, Asana, Pranayama, Mudra, Bandha, and Concentration as a beginning to Raja Yoga and Samadhi. Therefore, Hatha Yoga is the first step to reach Moksha (Salvation or Nirvana).
