Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchPradyota (啶啶班う啷嵿く啷嬥い) or Pradyotam膩na refers to 鈥渟hining (in every direction)鈥�, according to the P膩ta帽jalayoga艣膩stra (1.2).鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淸...] [When] its covering of delusion is destroyed and, shining in every direction (辫谤补诲测辞迟补尘腻苍补), it is penetrated by only Rajas, the [mind] becomes capable of religious activity, wisdom, detachment and power. [When] free from the impurity of [even] a slight trace of Rajas and established in its own essence, [and when it consists of] merely the perception of the otherness of Spirit from Sattva, the [mind] becomes capable of meditation on Dharmamegha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).
