In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch础惫腻肠测补 (啶呧さ啶距啷嵿く) refers to 鈥渢hat which is inexpressible鈥�, and is used to describe Sam膩dhi and Paratattva (highest reality), according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise which deals absorption, yogic powers and liberation.鈥擳he Amanaska referred to (or qualified) Sam膩dhi with several terms, which are all negative; [e.g., it is inexpressible (补惫腻肠测补);] [...] The fact that such terminology is found in the Amanaska indicates that descriptions of 艢iva and the void-like meditative states in Mantramargic 艢aivism, were the basis of the descriptions of Sam膩dhi and Paratattva (the highest reality) in this treatise. The Amanaska Yoga was consistent with the P膩ta帽jala Yoga艣膩stra鈥檚 definition of Yoga, yet it described Sam膩dhi in terms different to those of P膩ta帽jalayoga; such as Acala鈥斺�渢hat which is inexpressible (补惫腻肠测补)鈥�.
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as 膩sanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
