samadhi

                                          Samadhi Neither a comma,Nor  a Full stop!

Mundakopanishad

The Atman is great,divine and beyond comprehension.It is subtler than the subtlest and effulgent ;and, despite being farther than the farthest,it is situated very close to us.It is seated in the agayachakra or hridayaguha(spiritual heart) of the beholder.

Apart from the atma-tattva,another element that has a significant role to play while undertaking the state of samadhi is a dynamic energy known as prana-shakti or the prana(life force)

Prashnopanishad

The prana says -I sustain the human garb by disintegrating myself into five parts vis-a -vis prana,apana,vyana,udana and samana.These five pranas pulsate through out the body and keep all the biological processes functional.The conglomerated form of these five pranas is called prana-shakti

It is a noteworthy fact that the human mind,which is the regulator of sensory faculties,shares an interwoven connection with the prana-shakti.

Hatha Yoga pradeepika 

Meaning,the cessation of pranic activity ceases the functions of the Mind as well and vice-versa.Also,with either of the two(prana or mind)becoming active,the other also attains an active state.

In the first technique of assuming the state of samadhi,the atma-tattva draws out the prana-shakti from each and every pore of the body and brings it as own seat-the hridayaguha or agyachkra.Thereafter,the atma-tattva trancends upwards from the hridayaguha(agyachakra)and gets established at the brahmrandhra,also called as the sahasrara chakra(crown centre).

There are various classifications of samadhi.In certain categories the body does  attain a state that appears to be clinically dead or lifeless.We find an illustrated detail of the categories of samadhi in different scriptures.The Gheranda samhita states six types of -Samadhi Dhayanayoga samadhi, Nadayoga samadhi, Rasanandayoga samadhi,Layayoga samadhi,Bhaktiyoga samadhi and Rajayoga samadhu, paatanjal Yogadarshan has bifurcated samadhi into two broad categories-Samprayata and Asampragyata Samadhi The Sampragyata and Asamprayata Samadhi.

The Sampragyata samadhi further has four classifications- 

vitarkaanugata,Vichaaranugata,Anandaanugata and Asmitaanugata;where as the Asampragyata samadhi is divided into two-Bhavapratyaya and Upaayapratyaya.The samprayata and Asamprayata samadhis have also been named as Savikalpa and Nirvikalpa Samadhi respectively by the admirers of the Advaita school of vedanta.Nonetheless,few elevated souls and masters have also described Asampragyata samadhi as sthita or jada(inert or dead-like) samadhi.

Devout followers of Bhaktiyoga have talked about chetana samadhi, also referred to as Bhava Samadhi at many places.In the same vein,the biography of swami Ramakrishna Paramhansa relates his spiritual saga with Nirvikalpa,Chetna,Bhava and Unmaana samadhis.The samadhi of the spiritual master chaitanya Mahaprabhu has been denoted as Turyaga state.Besides these,there is also a mentaion of sabija,Nirbija,Savichara,Nirvichara,kaivalya,chitishakti Roop swaroop,Dharmamegha and sahaja samadhi in some scriptures and the manuscripts of saints and seers.
