: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch°ášt˛šťĺášášŁáši (ŕ¤ŕĽŕ¤¤ŕ¤ŚŕĽŕ¤ˇŕĽŕ¤ŕ¤�) refers to âfixing oneâs gazeâ� (on an empty space), according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.âAccordingly, as ÄŞĹvara says to VÄmadeva: â[...] In an isolated, solitary, clean and very beautiful place, [the Yogin] sits comfortably on a level seat and is supported a little from behind. His whole body is placed comfortably and he [remains] very steady and very still. Having fixed his gaze (°ěášt˛šťĺášášŁáši) [on an empty space] the measure of a straight armâs length [in front], he should practice [thus]. [...]â�.
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 Äsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
