Namaskaaram Vikram swami.
Just sharing what i have heard and read..
Japa – is repeating Lord’s name continuously. mainly mind and tongue is involved
Tapa – is any Austerity performed to please the Lord. Tapas can be done by using any part of the body or senses.( Japa is a subset of Tapas)
Yoga – is porcess of trying to unite with Lord’s interest. So by following Sri Krishna’s instructions / Acharya’s instrucitons with the motivation to unite with Lord’s interest we are doing yoga.. So tapa and japa etc are subsets of yoga..
In bhakhti yoga – Japa is done in Karma yoga – work for Krishna in the way prescribed by Him is done and in Jnana yoga – Tapas is done
Adiyen
Adiyen understand the following
Japam: Repeated recital of Krishna with focus.
Tapas: Something more than japam. Don’t know exactly what it is.
Are all Tapasvis yogis?
Are all yogis tapasvis?
If i do japa do i become a tapasvi ?
If i do Tapas do I become a Yogi?
If i am a yogi am I a jnana yogi?

Swami, Let me elaborate what i tried to type earlier..
Tapas mean austerity, which means sacrificing use of of any of our senses for our pleasure but for pleasing the deity of worship. For example some rishis do tapas by standing in one leg, some under water.. etc.. but usually in the tapas they do use japa to meditate.
All Tapsavis are not yogis as per true definition.. because even Hiranyakasipu did tapasya..so those who do tapas towards supreme lord , without any material motive they can be classified as yogis.
All yogas – Janana, karma or bhakti involves certain amount of tapas /austerity.. like jnani has to meditate on paramatma restricting other activities. KArma Yogi has to take austerity to work hard on behalf of Krishna to do his service and Bhakti yogi takes austerity like fasting etc.
The remaining last three questions are hopefully answered now.
There are overlapping activities in many paths.. but the classification on yogi or tapasvi is done by the predominant activity and the main activity one does.
Dhanyosmi.

Yes Elayalwaar Swami heard the audio now.
Dhanyosmi Sri Velukkudi Swami for clarifying the same.
Swami has as usual brought out expertly the practical significance of the discussion to our daily lives.. where swami illustrated how we can incorporate all japa, tapa and yoga in our daily life even at this stage and swami as usual ended with a motivating or inspiring note that if we just take one small step..Bhagawaan will take large steps to capture us and take back..
Dhanyosmi.
