INDIAN HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Kaivalya, also known as Kevala Jnana, means omniscience in Jainism and is roughly translated as complete understanding or supreme wisdom.

Detailed explanation-2: -kaivalya, (Sanskrit: “separateness”) in the Samkhya school of Hinduism, a state of liberation (moksha: literally, “release”) that the consciousness of an individual (purusha: “self” or “soul”) achieves by realizing that it is separate from matter (prakriti).

Detailed explanation-3: -In this sense, kaivalya is liberation or release from ignorance and the suffering it brings. Kaivalya is also described by Patanjali (4.34) as the return to the origin (pratiprasava) of the gunas. The same sutra goes on to say kaivalya is the establishment of the nature and power of higher awareness (citi-shakti).

Detailed explanation-4: -Moksha is said to be realized through loving attachment to God, [bhakti], or through unconditional offering of the self, [prapatti]. In contrast, kaivalya is consciousness of the self alone without realization of the “lord". It can therefore also be interpreted as [aloneness].

Detailed explanation-5: -Samadhi is so pleasurable that many seekers get stuck here; instead of pushing onward to the ultimate goal, they become sidetracked in this ecstatic state. The ultimate goal is kaivalya: aloneness or aloofness. Once a yogi has mastered samadhi and is back again in the ordinary world, what has changed?
