A YOGI 



The term yogi cannot be appl^d indiscriminately to any ascetic, for it is limited to those 

 who practice yoga (union), a complicated system of philosophy which aims at attaining union 

 with the Supreme Being. This the Hindus believe can be obtained by complete abstention 

 from all worldly objects and by intellectual concentration, accompanied by various postures, 

 breathings, and rules of diet, which vary considerably with different systems of yoga.
