In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch骋丑补峁乿补蝉迟丑腻 (啶樴啶距さ啶膏啶ムぞ) refers to the 鈥�(second) stage (of Yoga) called Gha峁璦鈥�, according to the Datt膩treyayoga艣膩stra (roughly contemporary with the Amanaska鈥檚 second chapter).鈥擜ccordingly, while discussing the merits of Yogic practice: 鈥淲ithout practice, [the Yogin] becomes worldly. Therefore, having remembered the teachings of his guru, he should practise [yoga] day and night. Thus, [only] through the constant practice of Yoga, does the [second] stage [of Yoga called] Gha峁璦 (驳丑补峁乿补蝉迟丑腻) arise. Without the practice of yoga, [it is all] in vain. [Yoga] is not perfected through social gatherings. Therefore, [the Yogin] should practise only yoga with every effort.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).
