The Amaraugha Prabodha (Sanskrit: अमरौघप्रबोध) is a 12th century Sanskrit text on hatha yoga, attributed to Gorakshanath. Its close connection with a Vajrayana text, the Amritasiddhi, implies a Buddhist origin for the practice of hatha yoga.

Yoga text

The Amaraugha Prabodha is a 12th century Shaivite Sanskrit text on hatha yoga, attributed to Gorakshanath.[1] It is closely related to the 11th century Amritasiddhi, a Vajrayana Buddhist work, describing the same physical yoga practices, but adding Shaivite philosophy, subsuming hatha yoga under raja yoga, and reducing the use of Vajrayana terms.[2] The Amaraugha Prabodha is the earliest text that combines hatha yoga with raja yoga.[2] It was likely used by Svatmarama when he wrote the 15th century Hatha yoga pradipika.[2][3]

The text defines hatha yoga as the type of yoga, as distinct from mantra yoga, laya yoga, and raja yoga, which manipulates the breath and the bindu (semen).[4][5]
