(Hinduism, Sanskrit: "union")

The linking of the consciousness of the infinitesimal living entity (jiva) with the supreme living entity, Krishna. Any of various spiritual disciplines meant for purification and ultimate realisation of one's position as servant of God.

Whilst the literal meaning of the word is "union", it is not an eay word to define since it comprises an infinite number and subtle range of meanings. However, generally, yoga means a trance: a spiritual withdraway from the world around and trying to attune oneself with the Infinite.
