Yoga (school of philosophy)
: Brill: 艢aivism and the Tantric Traditions (yoga)Amaraughaprabodha (啶呧ぎ啶班啶樴お啷嵿ぐ啶啶�) represents an 12th-century text on Ha峁環ayoga consisting of 46 verses.鈥擳he Am峁泃asiddhi was the first text to codify many of Ha峁環ayoga鈥檚 distinctive principles and practices and was thus the first to assign names to them. As a result the Amaraughaprabodha, the first text to teach physical Yoga methods under the name 丑补峁环补, includes among its techniques the Am峁泃asiddhi鈥檚 尘补丑腻尘耻诲谤腻, 尘补丑腻产补苍诲丑补 and 尘补丑腻惫别诲丑补 (with slight variations in their methods). In addition to these physical techniques, the Amaraughaprabodha also adopts from the Am峁泃asiddhi the more theoretical doctrine of the four 补惫补蝉迟丑腻蝉 or stages of yoga, showing that the Am峁泃asiddhi鈥檚 influence was more than simply terminological.
Note: The number of verses is based on a short recension of the Amaraughaprabodha, which is older than the recension published by Mallik (1954). The short recension is preserved by two manuscripts (Ms. No. 1448 at the Government Oriental Manuscript Library, University of Madras, Chennai, and Ms. No. 70528 at the Adyar Library and Research Centre, Chennai). For more information on this short recension, see Birch 2019.
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchAmaraughaprabodha (啶呧ぎ啶班啶樴お啷嵿ぐ啶啶�) is a short treatise on yoga attributed to Gorak峁n膩tha. It teaches the fourfold system of yoga (Mantra, Laya, Ha峁環a and R膩ja) which emerges in yoga texts written after the thirteenth century. The term amaraugha is a synonym for R膩jayoga, and this appears to be unique to the Amaraughaprabodha. In 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. [...] Like many other Ha峁環a texts, the Amaraughaprabodha emphasizes that all other yoga techniques are pointless without R膩jayoga and, indeed, it claims that mantras, meditation and Pr膩峁嚹亂膩ma are futile without R膩jayoga.
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).
