Heya, Heyahetu, Hana and Hanopaya have been described as the main subjects of Indian philosophy. Yogdarshan also has the same opinion. Therefore, like other philosophies, the main objective of Yogdarshan is also the removal of sorrow. In the very beginning of his Yogasutra, Patanjali describes the state of perfection of yoga and says-   'Tada Drashtuva Swaroope Avasthanam'. 'तदा दृष्टुव स्वरूपे अवस्थानम्'। That is, when yoga is perfected, the seer (soul) becomes situated in its pure form. This state is attained only after the complete retirement of sorrows. The cause of sorrows is the different attitudes of the chitta, due to which the chitta remains in an unnatural state and is unable to give knowledge of his true nature. At the root of the chitta's inclinations are present avidya etc. kleshas, as a result of which various tendencies remain in the chitta.

 Meaning of Mudra The word mudra is derived by adding the suffix "rak" to the root 'Mud Harsha', which means a condition that gives happiness.  The word "mudra" in the sense of money or rupees is also used with the same intention. Many meanings of the word 'mudra' are found in the corpus.

Special position of hands and mouth can also be included in these. For example, sittin...
