Yama Niyama Yoga Samadhi

While the Devas, with Lord Vishnu, Brahma and Indra at their head, were proceeding towards Mount Kailasa as narrated in the preceding chapter, the great sages, Sanaka, Sanatkumara, Sanatana and Sanandana had arrived at Kailasa to receive instructions from Lord Siva, regarding the fourfold path to Self-realisation i.e., Yama, Niyama, Yoga and Samadhi. The Lord explained to them the various details of these four stages, and by way of demonstrating the last stage, viz., Samadhi, He Himself remained in it, completely absorbed in Supreme Silence (Maha Mouna). Thus He showed the Rishis that the last stage is not to be explained but to be realised actually in that state of Supreme Silence. 


At this critical juncture, the Devas along with Indra, Brahma and Vishnu entered the hills and were stopped from proceeding further by Nandi Deva, who explained to them how it was not a suitable time to see the Lord.
