Round 3: Tossup 20

A set of influential sutras on this subject were written by Patanjali, who focused on its “eight limbs.” The goal of raja has become an umbrella term for a type of this practice. One form of this practice called Bhakti (-5[2])is focused on cultivating devotion (15[1])to a supreme deity, and is combined with jnana and karma forms to make up the three classical paths towards moksha. This practice was introduced to the (*) West by Swami (-5[1])Vivekananda. (10[1]-5[2])The Hatha form of this practice, which includes the Suryanamaskara, or “Sun Salutation,” involves the use of asanas. For 10 points, name this spiritual practice originating from Indian religions that may involve bodily poses. ■END■ (10[5])
