In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchBeing Preoccupied (with carrying out someone鈥檚 actions) refers to one of the risk of revealing one鈥檚 power (siddhi), according to the Datt膩treyayoga艣膩stra verse 101.4 and Yogatattvopani峁t 1.76-78.鈥擜ccordingly, while discussing the concerns about the use of Siddhis: 鈥淸...] The Yogin should behave among people as though dumb, simple or deaf, in order to keep his powers hidden. If not, then there will surely be many students [who will] undoubtedly ask the master of Yoga [to intervene] in their own affairs. [Because of this,] he will become preoccupied (vyagra) with carrying out their actions and forgetful of his own [Yoga] practice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).
