Mme. Blavatsky defines the word Yoga in reference to rāja yoga, as follows:
 
<blockquote>(1) One of the six Darshanas or schools of India; a school of philosophy founded by Patanjali, though the real Yoga doctrine, the one that is said to have helped to prepare the world for the preaching of [[Gautama Buddha|Buddha]] is attributed with good reasons to the more ancient sage Yâjnawalkya, the writer of the Shatapatha Brâhmana, of Yajur Veda,the Brihad Âranyaka,and other famous works. (2) The practice of meditations as a means of leading to spiritual liberalition. Psyscho-spiritual powers are obtained thereby, and induced escstatic states lead to the clear and correct perception of the eternal thruths, in both the visible and invisible universe.<ref>Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, ''The Theosophical Glossary'' (Krotona, CA: Theosophical Publishing House, 1973), 380-381.</ref></blockquote>
