b) Discuss the relation between Astanga Yoga and Sadanga Yoga?
c) Why Patanjali Yoga Darshan is called "Raja Yoga"?
d) Discuss the aim and objects of Yoga. How Yoga makes a man perfect?
Ans: Yoga has diverse range of things to offer mankind. Hence, the aims
and objectives for practicing yoga may be varied and may vary from person
to person, depending upon their basic disciplines, trades and professions,
needs and requirements and problems they face in their walks of life.
Broadly, the objectives are –
i) To bring peace and tranquility of mind, freeing it from all stress and
strains, worries and anxieties;
ii)  To bring balance and harmony in the body-mind-soul complex;
iii) To explore and unfold the latent talents, by controlling nature both
external and internal, annihilating the evils within;
iv) To gain sound health;
v) To train the body and mind in a way to avoid rigidity and bring flexibility;
vi) To develop immunity and resistance power;
vii) To master the secrets of doing work efficiently and excel in tasks taken
up;
viii) in the social complex, as well as, the global complex;
ix) To keep the internal body clean and detoxified and thereby render it
free from disease;
x) To transform a mundane life to a blissful godly life.
    The ultimate goal of yoga is to know one’s Self within and bring union between the individual Self (Atman) and the Universal Consciousness (Paramatman), to bridge between the microcosm and the macrocosm, and, thereby, to attain liberation (Moksha or Kaivalya) from the cares and anxieties, pains and sufferings of worldly life and enjoy Truth-Knowledge-Bliss-Absolute. For that, it is necessary to have a clear vision of the individual self. That is possible only when the mind (chitta) is made free from
modifications. Thus, annihilation of the propensities of mind (Chitta vritti nirodha) becomes the first objective.

Satkarma

 Sarkarma: Before going to start practicing the limbs of yoga, like Asana, Pranayama etc. it is required, not only to clean the external organs of the body and the surrounding, but also to purify the internal organs by expelling the waste and toxic materials produced in the body due to digestion of food and metabolism.
