: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch骋丑补峁璱办腻谤诲丑补 (啶樴啶苦啶距ぐ啷嵿ぇ) refers to the 鈥渢ime of one-half a Gha峁璱k膩鈥� (corresponding to one-hundred and eighty 艢v膩sas鈥攂reaths), according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.鈥擜ccordingly, as 莫艣vara says to V膩madeva: 鈥淸...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] By means of an absorption for half a Gha峁璱k膩 (驳丑补峁璱办腻谤诲丑补) (i.e., one hundred and eighty breaths), the highest power [called] Ku峁囜笉alin墨 is awake at the base [of the spine] as a result of stopping the mind and breath. By means of an absorption for the period of a Kal膩 (i.e., three hundred and sixty breaths), the power, [Ku峁囜笉alin墨,] certainly moves about. With the stopping of the breath (惫腻迟补谤辞诲丑补), it goes upwards through the back channel [called Su峁mn膩]. [...]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).
