Notes

समाधि

Samadhi -> a superconscious state

The first chapter of Pantajalis Yoga Sutras is samadhipada. Translated, means "Foundations of Union/Conclusion/Completion."

Swami Brahamananda suggests there are three levels of Samadhi

• Savikalpa Samadhi - superconscious vision with thought
• Nirvikalpa Samadi superconscious vision without thought.
• Finally "the realization of that which is beyond thought and speech. In this state there is nothing to be seen; nothing to be heard. Everything is lost in the Infinite."
