112 yogas of delight and wonder

Yukti - Practice, union



In the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, yukti has a special meaning in addition to the vast meaning described in the MW.

Yukti is a term which, in these works, means a number of things including ‘reason,’ expedient, means, and in a more technical sense, a knowledge of the means to self-realization. Thus the Vijnanabhairava teaches 112 such means. Ksemaraja explains that ‘the word yukti indicates there (in the Vijnanabhairava) the knowledge of the 112 planes of yoga (taught therein).’ S.Su.vi., p.121.
