In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchThe Great Light (which the Yogin visualizes) can be denoted by the Sanskrit terms Mahajjyotis and Jyotirma峁囜笉ala.鈥擬ost of the parallel passages between [the Ma峁囜笉alabr膩hma峁噊pani峁t and Advayat膩rakopani峁t] and the Amanaska contain slight yet significant differences. For example, in the Amanaska, the orb of light which the Yogin visualizes is referred to as 箩测辞迟颈谤尘补峁囜笉补濒补, whereas in these Upani峁ds it is a 鈥済reat light鈥� (mahajjyotis). Nonetheless, both the Advayat膩rakopani峁t and Ma峁囜笉alabr膩hma峁噊pani峁t contain the most salient teachings of the Amanaska and can be considered to be a relatively recent transmission of the Amanaska鈥檚 tradition of 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).
