Abstract
We come across many classical Hatha yogic texts like Hatha Pradipika,Gheranda Samhita and Siva Samhita etc.However Hatharatnavali of Srinivasa yogi is one of the vital hathayogic text because of its unique features and independent explainations.Like Hathapradipika it is not widely known to the yoga seekers and students.But still it is most popular one among the hatha yogic texts bexause of simple descxription and feature. Inclusion of astakarmas,eightyfour asanas,elaborate description on mudras and concept of panda-brahmana(microcosm and macrocosm etc)are the important features of the tect.The author has tried to describe in short the unique features of this classic hatha yogic text.
