In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchThe Plantain Tree is denoted by the Sanskrit term Kadal墨, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.鈥擜ccordingly, as 莫艣vara says to V膩madeva: 鈥淸...] When the thorn of mental-faculties has been uprooted, roots and all, by means of the no-mind spade, the sage becomes happy. Like a plantain tree (办补诲补濒墨), the great illusion, whose layers [of leaf sheaths] along with the mind and senses, perishes totally when it has produced the fruit of the no-mind [state]. [...]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).
