General definition (in Hinduism)
: nathi.ru: The Amanaska YogaThe Amanaska Yoga is a dialogue between the Hindu God, 莫艣vara and the sage, V膩madeva, on a system of Yoga that leads to liberation in this life (箩墨惫补苍尘耻办迟颈). It consists of one hundred and ninety-eight verses, divided into two chapters (补诲测腻测补). The first chapter of eight-six verses begins by defining what the highest reality (para峁� tattva峁�) is and is not, and lists another six elements (tattva). Instruction is then given on the practice that leads to absorption (laya). When absorption is attained, thet highest reality appears, which brings forh the state of amanaska. The last fifty-two verses of the first chapter are devoted entirely to the twenty-four year progression in absorption, which involves the attainment of many special powers (siddhi).
