Samkhya Yoga:
Samkhya is a dualistic philosophy focusing on the distinct nature of Purusha (consciousness/self) and Prakriti (matter/nature). Samkhya Yoga, in the context of the Bhagavad Gita, refers to the path of knowledge and self-realization through understanding this distinction to achieve liberation.
Difference from Hatha Yoga:
* Focus: Samkhya Yoga is primarily a philosophy emphasizing intellectual understanding and discrimination between self and matter. Hatha Yoga is a physical and mental discipline focusing on physical postures, breath control, and cleansing techniques.
* Approach: Samkhya seeks liberation through knowledge (jnana). Hatha Yoga aims to prepare the body and mind for higher states of consciousness through physical practices.
* Nature: Samkhya is a theoretical system, while Hatha Yoga is a practical discipline.
