Abstract

The present work of completion of course aims to know and understand the cause of human suffering from the Hindu philosophy. It also sought to briefly contextualize the history of India from the first inhabitants. It is a bibliographic research, in which the actions (karma) and reactions (akarye) were analyzed. The condition of the individual while being fragmented, especially in religion. The choice of this theme arose from the need to understand the universe of Yoga beyond the physical practices widely disseminated in Western countries. To achieve the objectives, concepts were presented about what existence is, karma and yoga, through the authors, Feuerstein (2006), Eliade (1996), Zimmer (1986) and Krishnamurti (1975), as well as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, among others. The use of yoga techniques and postures (asanas) as an aid to reach the meditative state frees the mind from attachment and a conditioned existence to, finally, achieve transcendence.
