YOGI

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 921 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: YAK-ZYM
YOGI , a
Hindu
  religious ascetic. The word yoga means
union
 , and first occurs in the later Upanishads; and yogi means one who practises yoga, with the
object
  of uniting his soul with the divine spirit. This
union
 , when accomplished by the individual soul, must enhance its susceptibilities and
powers
 , and so the yogis claim a far-reaching knowledge of the secrets of nature and extensive sway over men and natural phenomena. The most usual manifestation of this
power
  is a
state
  of
ecstasy
 , of the nature of self-1 ypnotism.
