“The word YOGA comes from the root Yuj which means to join, and in its spiritual sense, it is that process by which the human spirit is brought into near and conscious communion with, or is merged in, the Divine Spirit, according as the nature of the human spirit is held to be separate from (Dvaita, Visishtadvaita) or one with (Advaita) the Divine Spirit.” – Swami Sivananda, Kundalini Yoga

Yuga, Yug युग
Yuga (Sanskrit: युग) means “a yoke” (joining of two things), “generations”, or “a period of time” such as an age, where its archaic spelling is yug, with other forms of yugam, yugānāṃ, and yuge, derived from yuj (Sanskrit: युज्, lit. ‘to join or yoke’), believed derived from *yeug- (Proto-Indo-European: lit. ‘to join or unite’).
In the Latin language, juga or jug is used from the word jugum, which means “a yoke used to connect two oxen” (e.g. cali-juga = kali-yuga).
