Journal Title: Research Journal of Philosophy & Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
Yoga is one of the most popular systems of philosophy that has flourished through the ages, and became very popular throughout the world today. The impact of yoga on Indian culture is also so strong that it has penetrated into all sections of the society. Several texts on Yoga have been written in the local languages of our country including Telugu. Some of them are penetrated into the folk culture where several simple verses woven with yogic philosophy are sung even by the peasants of our villages. Several world class philosophers emanated from the Telugu region like Nagarjuna, Potuluri Virabrahmendra Swami; recently, Jiddu Krishnamurti and Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. Great poets and devotees like Tyagaraja, Annamacharya and Vemana also contributed. In this article the concepts related to yoga psychology and philosophy in the numerous poems of Vemana are discussed.
