Lit. eighth and final stage of eightfold yoga - yam, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, samadhi.

In the samadhi state there is a cessation of body-consciousness, mind and sensory faculties. It is now that the state of sahaja samadhi arrives.

Delving further deeper in the recesses of yoga, a yogi arrives at nirvikalpa samadhi or mahasamadhi which is Kriya's transcendental state. In this state the yogi merges with the Absolute.
Common man opines that in the state of mahasamadhi, one does not return but this is an erroneous concept. Even after merging with the Absolute to effect human welfare a yogi does return but does not digress from this state.
