Theme Analysis
The concept of a true yogī is fundamentally rooted in unbroken, loving meditation on the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as meticulously detailed by Śrīla Prabhupāda. While ordinary men often associate yoga with physical gymnastics, mystic powers, or outward ascetic signs, the actual perfection of yoga is internal. The highest yogī perceives the Supersoul within the core of the heart and engages in pure devotional service, entirely rejecting the desire for material sense gratification or temporary opulences.
- The True Purpose of Meditation: Real meditation is not about silencing the mind into a void, but rather actively fixing it upon the four-handed form of Viṣṇu or Kṛṣṇa within the heart.
- Rejection of Mystic Powers: Although a real yogī can exhibit incredible powers such as becoming the smallest or creating planets, these siddhis are discarded because the supreme yoga system does not aim at material relief or happiness.
- The Devotee as the Supreme Yogī: The perfection of the yoga process naturally culminates in pure devotional service, where the soul moves beyond merely seeing the Supersoul to directly meeting and serving the Supreme Person face to face.
- Explore the synthesized essence of this category in this Vanipedia article: Characteristics of a Real Yogi in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness.
Pages in category "Real Yogi"
The following 28 pages are in this category, out of 28 total.
H
- He (a real yogi) can even create a planet. These are some of the yoga-siddhis, but here it is stated that the supreme yoga system does not aim at material happiness or relief from distresses caused by material inconvenience
- He (Durvasa Muni) could understand the influence of a Vaisnava by personal experience. Durvasa Muni was certainly a great yogi and a very learned brahmana, but despite his being a real yogi he was unable to understand the influence of a Vaisnava
I
- I say the real yogis, they do not come out. Because that will fail. It is clearly stated that he must live in a secluded place alone. Then yoga practice perfection is possible
- If some yogi shows some mystic power, and little gold if he can manufacture, we accept him as God. But we forget the real yogi who has created millions of gold mines, floating in the air
- In the material world everyone is working for sense gratification. The profits of one's labor in the material world are used to gratify one's senses. But a real yogi does not desire such fruits. He has no desire other than Krsna, & Krsna is already there
R
- Real meditation is to find out the Supersoul within the core of the heart. That is real meditation. God is situated in everyone's heart, so the yogis, they try to find out the Supersoul within the heart. That is real yogi
- Real yogis can remain without breathing for days together. That means the days he does not breathe, so much time saved: he increases his life
- Real yogis meditate upon the transcendental form of the Lord as He stands on the whorl of the lotus of their hearts, the jewellike nails of His lotus feet glittering
- Real yogis, not these fat-reducing yogis. I mean to say... Real yogis. They are concerned with understanding the Supersoul, Paramatma. And devotees, they are engaged in serving the Supreme Personality of Godhead
S
- So this Krsna consciousness movement is teaching people how to become first-class yogi. Sa me yuktatamo matah. Yogam yunjan mad-asrayah. This is real yogi. To practice yoga
- So-called yoga practices of voidism and impersonalism are not recommended in any standard yoga-sastra. The real yogi is the devotee because his mind is always concentrated on pastimes of Lord Krsna. Therefore Krsna consciousness is the topmost yoga system
- Sometimes yogis do attain certain siddhis or powers, but these are not the purpose of yoga, and real yogis do not exhibit them. The real yogi thinks, - I am now contaminated by this material atmosphere, so now I must purify myself
T
- The mind is always absorbed in Krsna consciousness. That is meditation. The yogis, the real yogis, not these gymnastic yogis, the real yogis, they, dhyanavasthita, they always meditate upon Krsna
- The mind should be engaged in Visnu. The yogi, the real yogi, who goes to the forest, to the secluded place, he thinks of the catur-bhuja Visnu
- The real yogi
- The sannyasi and yogi is the same because yogi has no other business. He is simply trying to concentrate his mind on the Visnu. Dhyanavasthita-tad-gatena manasa pasyanti yam yoginah (SB 12.13.1). Yoginah, not these black yogis. The real yogi
- The yogis, the real yogis, they, by meditation, they see visnu-murti within the heart. And those who are devotees, they meet the Supreme Person face to face just like we are meeting face to face, talk face to face, serve directly
- The yogis, they are always in meditation and thinking of Krsna. That is real yogi, not to show some gymnastic feats. These things are required to concentrate the mind
- The yogis, those who are real yogis, not bogus yogis, real yogi, they wants to meditate upon the Supersoul
- Those who are real yogis, they always observe the Visnu form within the heart. That is the process of meditation and samadhi
W
- We forget that the real yogi, the Supreme Lord Himself, has created millions of gold mines and is floating them in space. Those who are Krsna conscious are not befooled by yogis who claim to be Bhagavan
- When we are absorbed in the thought of serving Krsna and when we act in that consciousness, we can become real sannyasis and real yogis
