In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch础苍腻办腻谤补 (啶呧え啶距啶距ぐ) refers to 鈥渢hat which has no form鈥�, and is used to describe Sam膩dhi and Paratattva (highest reality), according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise which deals absorption, yogic powers and liberation.鈥擳he Amanaska referred to (or qualified) Sam膩dhi with several terms, which are all negative; [e.g., it has no form (补苍腻办腻谤补);] [...] The fact that such terminology is found in the Amanaska indicates that descriptions of 艢iva and the void-like meditative states in Mantramargic 艢aivism, were the basis of the descriptions of Sam膩dhi and Paratattva (the highest reality) in this treatise. The Amanaska Yoga was consistent with the P膩ta帽jala Yoga艣膩stra鈥檚 definition of Yoga, yet it described Sam膩dhi in terms different to those of P膩ta帽jalayoga; such as 础苍腻办腻谤补鈥斺�渢hat which has no form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).
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: SOAS Research Online: Prek峁Ｄ� meditation: History and MethodsAn膩kara (啶呧え啶距啶�) or 鈥渟hapeless鈥� refers to one of the 46 qualities of the soul to be meditated on in the 鈥淧ractice of Meditation on Liberated Souls (Siddhas)鈥�, according to Jain texts like 膧c膩r膩峁単a (5.6.123-140), 峁峁璳ha峁囜笉膩gama (13.5.4.31) and Samayas膩ra (1.49).鈥擳he pure soul can be recognised by meditation on its true nature, represented by the liberated souls of the Siddhas. The practice which leads to this realisation is meditation on the fact that attachment, aversion, passions and the influx of karmas, are 鈥榥ot mine鈥�, that I am separate from them and consist of infinite knowledge, perception, conduct, spiritual energy, that I am the pure, enlightened, and everlasting soul. The qualities of the soul to be meditated on as truly mine are: [e.g., My soul is shapeless (补苍腻办补谤补)] [...] The meditation on such extended fourty-five qualities of the pure soul presents the 苍颈艣补肠补测补-苍补测补, which is aligned with Kundakunda鈥檚 approach.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
