Y Within policy.
The article encyclopedically describes the contents of the Yogatattva Upanishad text, which includes what critics might call supernatural powers or psuedoscientific or spiritual benefits, but, appropriately, does not cite skeptical points of view here. Other, much broader articles on the Hindu religion are the appropriate place to address controversies and criticisms. This article is well-focused on the text that is the subject of the article, without getting sidetracked.
No evidence of copyvio, plagiarism, close paraphrasing
Formatting, style, footnoting, etc are all to a much higher standard than necessary for DYK. Probably near GA quality.
Y Hook, AL1, ALT2: Accept AGF. Most of the books are offline, but I reviewed some other online sources, and those linked to, and the gist of the hooks and the overall article content appear verifiable. Hooks interesting; I probably like the first one best but they're all good. No BLP issues.

Good to go.
Suggestion:
Yogatattva Upanishad is a very in-depth, relatively narrow part of a much broader subject, and probably shouldn't be the first article anybody reads on Yoga and Hinduism. Incorporating {{Hinduism small}} would help guide novices into broader topics, and give the necessary context and background. On the other hand, the navboxes at the bottom serve this purpose as well, so another at the top is not vital. --
