# Meaning and Definition: The primary definition of Yoga given by Maharshi Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras that forms the basis of the Ashtanga Yoga is 'yogazcittavRttinirodha'. In simple parlanc it means yoga is the control of the wandering of the manas. The Bhagavad Gita defines Yoga as the mindset of balance in success or failure (i.e.samatvaM yoga ucyate). In another definition, the Bhagavad Gita links karma and yoga and defines yoga as excellence in work (ie. yogaH karmasu kaushalam).<ref>Dharm P.S.
