En este artículo se exploran sutras budistas tempranos (del Canon Pali) donde se expone la práctica del mindfulness, o de la contemplación plena: Satipaţţhāna Sutta, Mahā Satipaţţhāna Sutta, y Ānāpānasati Sutta. Se coloca el énfasis en la práctica yoga Kāyānupassanā (mindfulness del cuerpo), sus variantes y objetivos, fundamentos, y la visión de la corporeidad en que se sustenta. También se le compare con las doctrinas y técnicas yogas que se exponen en el Bhagavad Gita y los Yoga Sutras de Patanjali. Y se muestra como a pesar de su destinación soteriológica, el mindfulness yoga budista esta siendo “aplicado”, no sin algunos riesgos, en el mejoramiento del rendimiento deportivo de los atletas.

<p><em>Catur Yoga are four ways that humans can take to unite themselves with Brahman. The four paths include Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Raja Yoga, and Jnana Yoga. Of the four paths, this study will discuss Raja Yoga, which is the most difficult way or way for humans to do if it is done without the assistance of a spiritual teacher. Raja Yoga teachings emphasize the process of the self to be able to control all activities of the movement of the mind for the realization of a clear and good mind and always focus on Brahman. The state of the self that is able to control the movement of one's mind in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is called Citta Vrtti Nirodha. Citta Vrtti Nirodha will lead human life to Moksartham Jagadhita Ya Ca Iti Dharma. The teachings of Raja Yoga will be studied in depth and comprehensively using the literature study of the sacred literature of Bhagavad Gītā as the main source.</em></p>

A related question to the one posed in the title is: ‘Is religion psychology?’ In order to make this question a little sharper, let us raise two parallel ones: ‘Is religion physiology?’ and ‘Is religion physiotherapy?’I have the impression that the answer to any of the above four questions is both ‘yes’ and ‘no’. What I propose to do below is to try to find out how we might understand these questions in the light of the Bhagavad Gītā and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, with occasional help from other sources. These two texts are of paramount importance in Indian religion and psychology, and may be considered representative of the classical Indian view.
