 Yoga
Yoga is also one of the six darshanas (schools) of Vedic / Hindu philosophy, and as such specifically refers to Raja Yoga, the royal path of divine meditation on the one Brahman.
One of the six darshanas (schools) of Vedic / Hindu philosophy, and as such specifically refers to Raja Yoga, the royal path of divine meditation on the one Brahman.
Meaning union or yoking, Yoga is indicative of a broad range of practices that aim to, through physical, mental and spiritual activities, focus the individual on the true essence of reality, to achieve moksha or samadhi, liberation and enlightenment.

 ATMA JYOTI ASHRAM - Six Systems of Hindu Philosophy - Raghavan Iyer
Nonetheless, as the various darshanas interacted and exchanged insights, Mimansa came to consider the highest action as resulting in a cessation of advances and retreats on the field of merit, whereby dharma and adharma were swallowed up in a sublime and transcendental state of unbroken awareness of the divine.
Although scholars have speculated on the sequential emergence of the darshanas, and though patterns of interplay can be discerned in their full flowering, their roots lie in the ancient texts and they arise together as distinctive standpoints.
Whilst some Western philosophers have pointed to the unprovable Indian presupposition that the heart of existence is divine, the darshanas reverse this standpoint by affirming that the core of reality is, almost definitionally, the only basis for thinking of the divine.

 Hindu scriptures-puranas, vedangas, devotional literature
The Darshanas which are six in number, namely, the Uttara mimansa, the Purva mimansa, Samkhya, Yoga, Vaisheshika and Nyaya Darshanas.
Hence tradition divided these six darshanas into three categories: the asthika (those who believe in god), the nasthika (those who do not believe in god) and dwaishtika (or those who believe in fate or destiny).
The Yoga darshana is based upon Patanjalis Yoga Sutras.

 THE YOGA SUTRA OF PATANJALI
Six Darshanas, namely Nyaya, Vaisesika, Sankhya, Yoga, Mimamsa and Vedanta, are referred to as the Orthodox, or Astika Darshanas, as they acknowledge the authority of the Vedas.
In contradistinction, are the three systems Buddhism, Jainism and the Charvaka schools, referred to as the Unorthodox, or Nastika Darshanas, as they do not accept Vedic authority.
The different Darshanas, of course, diverge on their approaches to this objective Yoga focusses on disciplines

 World Religions: Comparative Analysis
The Samkhya darshana rejects the existence of a creator god, since he could be conceived only as a liberated self, or a self bound to karma ( Samkhya-Sutra 1,93).
(Remember that it is the specific Yoga darshana of Patanjali endorsed here, and not other of the many modern Yoga schools that exist today.) As their metaphysical basis is mostly common, in the absence of any supplementary explanation, what will be mentioned here is valid for both schools.
Instead of the pantheist view of liberation, consisting of an impersonal merging of the self with the Absolute, the Samkhya and Yoga darshanas state that the liberated self ( purusha) remains eternally isolated, devoid of any relation with other purushas (or Ishvara, in Yoga) and having as the only possibility that of knowing itself.

 WELCOME: WWW.JAINSAMAJ.ORG
Jaina Darshana, just as Sankhya Darshana and Mimamsa Darshana, does not believe in the doctrine of creation or a Creator, or an Ishvara, and yet believes in a divine Being for whom the Jainas build temples and conduct religious worships.
Getting firmly established in Right Faith of Samyak Darshana is the first step firmly established in Right Faith or Samyak Darshana is the first step in spiritual development.
Samyak Darshana or Right Faith according to Jaina thinkers requires freedom from three types of superstitious beliefs or three moodahs.

 Re: HINDUISM
The major scriptures of Hinduism are the Vedas, Epics, Agamas, Darshanas and the Bhagavad Gita.
The Bhagavad Gita is a summary of all Hindu teachings and is popularly referred to as the Bible of Hinduism.
The Vedas include religious teachings, general rules for social and individual behavior, and prayers that the devotees use to worship God.

 Spirit of Indian Philosophy by Neria Harish Hebbar, MD
The six systems of Hinduism ( Darshanas) and their sub-systems, Buddhism, Jainism and the materialistic system of the Charvaka are all evidence of the divergent of views of Indian philosophy.
Except in the Charvaka system, all the other systems of philosophy and religion are intimately related and the philosophy is regarded as a spiritual adventure.
The word is aptly described in India as Darshana, which means ‘to see’.

Yoga (Sanskrit: "union" or "yoke") is one of the six darshanas (schools) of Vedic philosophy.
The history of yoga goes back at least five thousand years, but yogic philosophy was codified around 150 BC by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutra, which prescribes adherence to "eight limbs".

 Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
Yoga together with Karma Mimansa and Vedanta presents the experimental nature of the path to enlightenment while the other three Darshanas, Nyaya, Vaisheshik, and Samkhya, present the intellectual aspect.

 Untitled
The essence of Yoga Darshana is the question, "Who am I?" It requires questioning one's most fundamental beliefs.
Nevertheless, since the darshanas are intellectual disciplines, it stands to reason that the highest intellectual discipline, Vedanta, will have a strong relationship to both applied Gyana Yoga and pure gyana, or pure knowledge.
There is no mention of a seventh darshana as a mode of practice, but there should be.

After reading the Hindu critique of Buddhism especially in darshanas (philosophical schools), one is often led to wonder whether the Hindu philosophers ever cared to look into primary Buddhist sources before writing their critiques of them.
For instance, the dialogue between Hindus and Buddhists has to be at a different level from their somewhat hostile encounters in the past.
This book 'condemns' the viewpoints of other Vedantic systems, other philosophical schools (darshanas), and 'heretical' (nastika) schools of Buddhism, Jainism, and Carvaka materialism.

 AN OUTLINE OF HINDU PHILOSOPHY
The six systems of Hindu philosophy, (Nyaya, Vaisesika, Samkhya, Yoga, Mimamsa and Vedanta) are known as Darshanas, which means view, vision, seeing, or viewpoint.
They are not separate ideas that can exist apart with integrity, for they are in fact different aspects of the one truth.
In Yoga it is known as samadhi, with much literature on the subject.

Shingar is the second darshana, which is characterised by satiating the vanity and narcissist need of the deity by holding a mirror in front of him.

The sixth darshana is the Bhog wherein light meal is served, followed by Sandhya arti symbolising mother Yashoda tending to him after his wanderings in the woods.

 Yoga Philosophy
These systems or schools are known as “Darshanas” which mean to see or mirrors to see the soul.
The ancient seers used Yoga as a means to explore the exterior and the interior world and ultimately achieve the knowledge and wisdom of the Vedas, Upanishads and Shastras which has been passed down to the world.
It may be improper to call them philosophies which are noting but a view of life, whereas the Darshanas are more or less a way of life.

 Introduction to Hinduism
Hinduism has been blessed with a plethora of religious scriptures.
There are six astik, or orthodox, schools of philosophical thought in Sanatana Dharma : Sankhya, Yoga, Mimamsa, Vedanta, Nyaya, and Vaisheshika.
The Darshanas are the scriptures of the various philosophical schools of Sanatana Dharma.

Once experienced, this state is recognized as the true nature of "Self", or "self-realization", and liberates the individual, according to classical yoga thought, from the cause of human suffering, which is the illusion of isolation and separation from universal reality, or the Infinite.
As Huston Smith writes in the classic text The Illustrated World's Religions, "yoga is a method of training designed to lead to integration or union.
Yoga is one of six fundamental systems of Indian thought collectively known as darsana, or "sight; way of seeing." As one of the classical darshanas, the yoga path is actually a very precise and tangible metaphysical methodology for developing a greater clarity of the way in which we "see" and "know" ourselves.

This, again, involves the three famous steps as mentioned in some other systems like Vedanta Darshana, viz., sravana (hearing the scriptures), manana (reflecting on the same) and nididhyasana (meditation).
Almost all the branches of Indian philosophy deal with two subjects: The pramanas or valid sources of knowledge, and, the prameyas or things to be known through them.
The theory of knowledge as propagated by the Nyaya Darshana accepts four pramanas or distinct and separate sources of true knowledge.

The works of great personalities like Shri Shankaracharya, Shri Ramanuja, Nimbarka, Vallabhacharya etc., also contributed to the revival of the religion and its popularity at a time when it was passing through great difficulties.
Over a period of centuries during which it underwent a great metamorphosis, the religion drew its inspiration from various sources.
Chief among them were: the Vedas, the Upanishads (which are actually the end portions of the Vedas), the Vedangas, the Puranas, the Bhagavad gita, the Darshanas, the Sutras, the two major epics called the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, the Agamas, the Vaishnava literature, the dharma shastra, karikas, Bhashyas and so on.

 JOY: The Journal of Yoga
Since any path to knowledge of god can be called yoga, there are in Hinduism many names for the different yogic paths that accommodate the basic makeup of the individual seekers.
Those Hindu paths that are best known in the West and that have been most thoroughly elaborated are: karma-yoga, selfless action; bhakti-yoga, devout love of god; raja-yoga, the 'royal roga,' which is identical with the yoga of Patanjali, one of the six darshanas ; tantric kundalini-yoga ; jnana-yoga, the path of abstract knowledge.
In the West the term yoga usually refers to hatha-yoga, which is based on physical exercises ( asana) in conjunction with breathing exercises ( pranayama).

There are many paths within yoga but because of the popularily of physical yoga in the West, the term is often used to mean only the physical practices, which are more correctly referred to as asana or yogasana.

 Re: subcontinent and caste
Although Hinduism has many facets - as you know, many schools of thought (the 6 Darshanas, etc.) and a wide range of beliefs, sometimes contradictory - it does boil down to the caste system, in which every Hindu (not just the Brahman theorists) has a part to play.
It is a religious notion: it operates even if you don't adhere to it from a "philosophical" point of view...

 The World's Religions and Their Scriptures
We mention the sutras, and their commentaries laying out the six orthodox philosophical systems (darshanas): Vedanta (the Brahma Sutra of Badarayana and commentaries by Shankara, Ramanuja, and Madhva), Yoga (the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali, Sankhya, Nyaya, Vaisheshika, and Purva Mimansa.
These texts delve into specialized realms of philosophy; in large measure, the religious content of these systems is already covered by the Vedas and Upanishads upon which they heavily draw.
Hindu philosophers, saints, and poets have produced a voluminous literature which is largely beyond the scope of an anthology limited to scripture.

 Upanishads and Darshanas
Anyone who wants to establish his own philosophy certainly cannot explain any scripture according to the principle of direct interpretation.

 Ramakrishna Mission, Shivanahalli
Hence tapas (austerity in personal life) as also sravana (listening attentively to the truths from great savants) and manana (reflecting upon them) have been the chief means adopted by the Hindu philosophers.
Though 'philosophy' means 'love of knowledge', the Indian systems went beyond the concept of knowledge as an intellectual exercise and landed at the door of mystical experience which alone can give, through intuitive perception, a clearer and deeper understanding of the meaning of life.
Almost all the darshanas discovered to their dismay that in spite of man's best efforts, life is full of misery.

 Jesus = God? (for Richard in Oregon)
To maintain that Hinduism teaches a doctrine of individual souls which exist from beginningless time is accepted (as far as I know) only by the Sa.nkhya darshana (school of philosophy or theology) out of the traditional six darshanas.
Madhva's Dvaita Vedaanta scrupulously maintains a distinction between "God" or Brahman the individual souls or "atman"-s which are assumed to be dependent upon Brahman for their existence and thus must ultimately be temporally posterior to Brahman itself.
As for the position that God's otherness is something foreign to Hinduism, that again is contingent upon which darshana (school of philosophy or theology) you choose to examine.

 Introducing Indian psychology: the basics
As a result we see conflicting schools of thought built on experiences that themselves are complementary rather than exclusive: Buddhism, the six Darshanas, Shankara, – each school asserts its separate viewpoints and refutes those of the others.
But with the coming up of the rational and divisive mind, more and more value is given to logical analysis and the linguistic exegesis of established texts.
Simultaneously the social fabric splits up into myriads of separate strands, casts, clans, sects, philosophical schools, that each stick tenaciously to their separate forms and ideologies.
