Yogsaar and ParmatmaPrakash
Yogsaar - Shrimad Yogindudev created Yogaar in the form of 108 gathas for those jivs who are frightened of Sansaar and desire to free themselves from it (Gatha 3)
ParmatmaPrakash - Describes the three categories of Jiv, BahirAtma (Outward looking soul), AntarAtma (Inward looking soul), ParmAtma (True/Pure soul) and the path to moksh - from being a BahirAtma to ParmAtma via AntarAtma. Composed by Shree YoginduDev with Sanskrit tika by Shreemad Bhrumdev.
Yogsaar Prabhrut - was written by Shreemad Amitgati Acharya (in the 11th century AD) for the purpose of experiencing the soul's pure nature, by which happiness is attained. The tool for experiencing the soul is "upyog" (hence the name Yog...). To experience the soul, the distinctive characteristics of:
- the living (jiv) and non-living (ajiv) substances,
- nature of aasrav (including false belief),
- bandh (including difference between knowledge and experience),
- sanvar (samvar),
- nirjara,
- moksh
are described, in addition to:
- the independence of every substance,
- essential true conduct (which can only exist where true knowledge and belief exist),
- true natures of happiness and miseries.
This shastra has 540 Gathas (verses) arranged in 9 Adhikaars (chapters). Translated into gujarati by Vrujlal Girdharlal Shah, Vadwan.
