All the gods shake with fear, their eyes quivering. Aghor墨's spirits appear in the clear of dawn by the thousands, of great majesty and deformed visage. [...]鈥�
2) Navama (啶ㄠさ啶�) refers to the 鈥渘inth (year)鈥� (of Yogic breathing exercises), according to the 艢ivayogad墨pik膩, an ancient Sanskrit text dealing with Yoga possibly corresponding to the 艢ivayoga quoted in 艢iv膩nanda鈥檚 Yogacint膩ma峁噄.鈥擜ccordingly, [while describing a sequence of Ha峁環ayoga practices]: 鈥淭hus, by means of this Ha峁環ayoga which has eight auxiliaries, those [students who are] life-long celibates obtain the Siddhis of the [best of Sages] because of their untiring practice. [...] In the seventh year, he can leave the earth and in the eighth [year], the [yogic] powers [such as minimization, etc.,] arise for him. In the ninth (navama) year, he can move in the atmosphere, travel in [all] directions and has a body [as hard as] a diamond. [...]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).
