Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Yoga狈腻驳别艣补 is one of the eighty-four Siddhas associated with eighty-four Yogic postures (腻蝉补苍补蝉), according to popular tradition in Jodhpur, 搁腻箩补蝉迟丑腻苍. These posture-performing Siddhas are drawn from illustrative sources known as the Nava-n膩tha-caur膩s墨-siddha from V颧r膩峁嘺s墨 and the Nava-n膩tha-caru膩s墨-siddha-b膩l膩sundar墨-yogam膩y膩 from Pu峁噀. They bear some similarity between the eighty-four Siddhas painted on the walls of the sanctum of the temple in Mah膩mandir.
The names of these Siddhas (e.g., 狈腻驳别艣补) to 19th-century inscription on a painting from Jodhpur, which is labelled as 鈥淢aharaja Mansing and eighty-four Yogis鈥�. The association of Siddhas with yogis reveals the tradition of seeing Matsyendra and his disciple 骋辞谤补办峁 as the founders of 丑补峁环补测辞驳补.
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 腻蝉补苍补蝉 (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
