Yogic Philosophy: The Inner Path to Self-Realization
Vemana's deeper poems reveal his mastery of yogic symbolism. He often refers to:
Kundalini
Breath regulation (prāṇāyāma)
Meditation (dhyāna)
Non-attachment (vairāgya)
Self-inquiry (ātma-vicāra)
Realization of Brahman
He emphasizes that enlightenment requires inner purity, not outer rituals:
"Manasey manushulaku maargamulu."
The mind is the true path for all beings.
Many verses advise controlling the senses, practicing compassion, avoiding selfishness, and seeking the divine within oneself.
