In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchThe 鈥淛unctures鈥� of the day (in Sanskrit: Sandhi) represents an auspicious time to practice Yogic breathing exercises, according to the Yogay膩j帽avalkya, an ancient Sanskrit text from the 8th century dealing with the eight components of Yoga in over 500 verses.鈥擜ccordingly, [while describing a practice of breathing]: 鈥淗aving drawn the breath in through the tongue [whose edges are curled up to form a tube], the man who constantly drinks [the breath this way] does not [suffer from] fatigue (艣谤补尘补) or [excessive] heat [in the body] and all [minor] diseases are cured. Having drawn in the breath at the junctures of the day or an hour before sunrise, he who drinks it [thus] for three months, good lady, [gains] eloquent speech and within six months of practice, he is freed from all serious diseases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).
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): (shaktism)Juncture (rituals) are denoted by the Sanskrit term Sandhy膩, according to the 17th century Kaulagajamardana (鈥渃rushing the Kaula elephant鈥�) authored by K膩艣墨n膩tha or K峁涐梗峁嚹乶and膩cala.鈥擜ccordingly, [as 莫艣vara said to P膩rvat墨]: 鈥淟isten, O P膩rvat墨, I shall give a critique of the P膩峁峁囜笉as. Knowing this, a wise man is not defeated by them. [...] He who wears ash from the cremation ground and delights in wine and flesh; he who performs such [rites] as bathing and the junctures (蝉补苍诲丑测腻) for [mere] worldly rewards; and he who is the vilest [of them all,] having become a hater of Vi峁ａ箛u, destroys everything; [all of them] are called P膩峁峁囜笉as. [Now,] my dear, hear about the K膩p膩lika. [...]鈥�
