mentioned before. His main thesis herein is that good conduct, faithful doing of one's duties and sincere observation of social and religious rules of conduct are the true basis of yoga and they can lead to higher stages of yoga too. He emphasises good conduct in all possible ways and suggests to keep good company, good thoughts and good Bhāvanās. Lokdharma is the basis of true yoga and if properly observed leads to higher and subtler stages of yoga and ultimately leads to Moksa. Yogi Haribhadra while giving blessings to the mendicants after giving thein food had been giving them the same exhortation of intensifying their efforts for Mokşa This is very suggestive of his yearning for Moksa.
Haribhadra made Moksa and other philosophical concepts as the main planks of his thesis for the synthesis of yoga. Such a thesis was a natural outcome of his integrated life and personality and a spontaneous expression of his philosophy of Synthesis.
How he attempted such a synthesis of yoga, how he fared in his novel attempt and how he was a great success in such a synthesis, is the main theme of our second lecture on Haribhadra's Synthesis of Yoga.
