Savitarka Samadhi PatanjaliYoga
Samadhi, the State of becoming or returning to our original State of Being,that is of Being, Knowledge and Bliss is explained in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra 1.17.
There is a difference between the 'Nirvana', spoken of in Buddhism and The Samadhi of Yoga.
Buddhism advocates Nirvana, a State of Nothingness, Sunyavada.
Both Samadhi and Nirvana are Higher or elevated sense of Consciousness.
Yoga Samadhi is positive in the sense that one reverts to his original state of Being which consists of Being, Knowledge and Bliss.
Nirvana , on the other hand is the negation of all transient attributes and attaining a State of being Nothing, without attributes.
The difference,please do not read philosophical interpretations in this statement,is akin to being fully satisfied after eating and the feeling of Fullness one has without having eaten.
