Considered foundational are the early texts defining the six philosophical dar\u015banas: the s\u016btras by Kapila, Patanjali, Jaimini, Badarayana, Kanada and Gautama. Hailed as leading occult works on yoga, \u0101sanas, n\u0101\u1e0d\u012bs, chakras, ku\u1e47\u1e0dalin\u012b and sam\u0101dhi are the Yoga S\u016btras, Tirumantiram, Yoga V\u0101sish\u1e6dha, \u015aiva S\u016btras, Siddha Siddh\u0101nta Paddhati, J\u00f1\u0101ne\u015bvar\u012b, Ha\u1e6dha Yoga Prad\u012bpik\u0101 and Ghera\u1e47\u1e0da Sa\u1e41hit\u0101. Widely extolled among the bhakti literature are the Bhagavad G\u012bt\u0101, N\u0101rada S\u016btras, Tiruvasagam, the Vachanas of the \u015aiva\u015bara\u1e47\u0101s and the hymns of mystic poets like Surdas, Tukaram, Ramprasad, Mirabai, Andal, Vallabha, Tulasidasa, Tayumanavar, Lalla, Tagore, Auvaiyar and the saintly Nayanars and Alvars. The Bhagavad G\u012bt\u0101 explains, \u201cAs a blazing fire reduces the wood to ashes, O Arjuna, so does the fire of knowledge reduce all activity to ashes. There is nothing on Earth which possesses such power to cleanse as wisdom. The perfect yogin finds this knowledge in himself by himself in due time.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are There Other Types of Sacred Texts? \u015aLOKA 134India\u2019s lofty philosophical texts expound diverse views in exacting dialectics.
