Yogeshvara (Sanskrit: योगेश्वर, romanized: Yogeśvara, lit. 'Lord of Yoga') is a Sanskrit epithet employed in Hinduism.[1] The term Yogeshvara is a portmanteau of yoga and ishvara, meaning 'Lord of Yoga', 'Lord of Yogis', or 'God of Yoga'. The term is primarily employed to address the deities Shiva and Krishna.[2][3][4]
The term is an epithet of Krishna in Vaishnavism, who is also known as Parameshvara, the supreme god.[5][6][7]
Yogeshvara is a main deity in the Swadhyaya Movement, along with Shiva, Ganesha, and Parvati.
