Namaste Amanbeer ! 

 

The historical antiquity of yoga if seen academically goes back to pre-history where on the  cave walls we can find such descriptions . So Historically to put it straightfoward , it's presence can be seen from the Harappan civilization ( one of the oldest one parallel to mesopotamian ) . We find seals of Yogi stiing in meditative postures , banyan trees , animal motifs etc which gives substantiates yoga practises presence during that time . Now every day new researches are also coming up with emergence of new  scientific methods of archeology . And this is again to refer and refer on constant basis .

Yoga's origins can be traced back to ancient India, over 5,000 years ago. There's not a single inventor credited with creating yoga, but rather it developed over time by philosophers and yogis who documented their practices and beliefs in ancient texts.

Here's a breakdown of yoga's development:

  • Early Roots (Pre-Vedic Period - 2700 BCE): Archaeological evidence suggests some form of yoga practice existed even before the Vedic period.

  • Vedic Period (1700 - 1100 BCE): The word "yoga" first appears in the Rig Veda, one of the oldest surviving texts. Here, it refers to a discipline for uniting the mind and body.

  • Upanishad Period (800 - 600 BCE): The Upanishads, philosophical texts of Hinduism, delve deeper into yoga's spiritual aspects. They discuss concepts like self-realization and moksha (liberation).

  • Classical Period (200 BCE - 500 CE): Patanjali, often referred to as the "father of modern yoga," systematized the existing knowledge of yoga practices in his Yoga Sutras. This text outlines the eight limbs of yoga, a framework for achieving spiritual liberation.
