Yoga (connection) is of three types—success, satisfaction and permanence.

CC Madhya 23.56, Translation and Purport

“There are two divisions of each of the five mellows—yoga [connection] and viyoga [separation]. Among the mellows of friendship and parental affection, there are many divisions of connection and separation.

In the transcendental mellows of neutrality and servitorship, there are similar divisions of yoga and viyoga, but they are not variegated. The divisions of yoga and viyoga are always existing in the five mellows. However, in the transcendental mellows of friendship and parental affection, there are many varieties of yoga and viyoga. The varieties of yoga are thus described:

yogo ‘pi kathitaḥ siddhis

tuṣṭiḥ sthitir iti tridhā

“Yoga (connection) is of three types—success, satisfaction and permanence.” (Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu 3.2.129) The divisions of ayoga (separation) are described as follows:

utkaṇṭhitaṁ viyogaś cety

ayogo ‘pi dvidhocyate

“Thus ayoga has two divisions—longing and separation.” (Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu 3.2.95)
