In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchAmaraugha (啶呧ぎ啶班啶�) is a synonym for R膩jayoga, and this appears to be unique to the Amaraughaprabodha: a short 13th century treatise on Yoga attributed to Gorak峁n膩tha which teaches the fourfold system of yoga (Mantra, Laya, Ha峁環a and R膩ja).鈥擨n language redolent of P膩ta帽jalayoga艣膩stra 1.2, R膩jayoga is defined as a state without mental activity and this state is free from duality. Some yoga texts mention that Siddhis can be achieved through herbs, but the Amaraughaprabodha states that R膩jayoga can be both herbal and spiritual.
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).
