"Gheraṇḍasaṃhitā (Sanskrit धेरंड संहिता Gheraṇḍa saṃhitā) meaning “Gheranda's collection” is one of the three classic texts of haṭhayoga (the other two being the Haṭhayogapradīpikā and the Śivasaṃhitā). It is a late 17th century text and is considered to be the most encyclopedic of the three classic texts on hatha yoga. Gheraṇḍasaṃhitā is a manual of yoga taught by Gheranda to Chanda Kapali. Unlike other hatha yoga texts, the Gheranda Samhita speaks of a sevenfold yoga:
- Ṣaṭkarma for purification
- Āsana for strengthening
- Mudrā for steadying
- Pratyahāra for calming
- Prāṇāyāma for lightness
- Dhyāna for perception
- Samādhi for isolation
The text itself follows this division in seven chapters, and has a focus upon the ṣaṭkarmas, thus this text is sometimes said to describe ghaṭastha yoga. For instance, the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali describes an eightfold path (yama and niyama instead of ṣaṭkarma and mudrā, and addition of dhāraṇā). The closing stanzas on samādhi teach different methods than those described by Patañjali."
