FAQs

What is the significance of perfected samādhi in the Vishnu Purana?

This verse defines perfected samādhi as the point where yoga is no longer mere practice but becomes direct realization of the Supreme Brahman—marking the threshold of liberation.

How does Sage Parāśara explain the difference between a beginner yogin and an accomplished one?

Parāśara distinguishes the yogin “still yoking” the mind (yogayukta, engaged in practice) from the yogin whose absorption is fully accomplished (viniṣpanna-samādhi), who thereby attains realization of Para Brahman.

What is the theological importance of the Supreme Brahman in this context?

The verse places realization of Para Brahman as the supreme fruit of yoga; in Vaishnava reading, this highest reality is aligned with the ultimate sovereignty of the Divine (Vishnu as the supreme principle).
