In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch1) dzپṇḍ (ज्योतिमण्ड�) refers to an “orb of light�, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “Thought, intellect and ego are the officiants; mind is the Soma-drinking sacrificer, and it sacrifices the senses and ten vital breaths into the orb of light (dzپṇḍ). [This] orb of light shines from the root [of the palate] to the aperture [at the top of the head]. It is to be meditated on constantly by yogins [because] it bestows the eight supernatural powers such as minimisation�.
2) dzپṇḍ (ज्योतिर्मण्ड�) refers to the “orb of light� (which the Yogin visualizes).—Most of the parallel passages between [the Maṇḍalabrāhmaṇopaniṣat and Advayatārakopaniṣat] 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 dzپṇḍ, whereas in these Upaniṣads it is a “great light� (mahajjyotis). Nonetheless, both the Advayatārakopaniṣat and Maṇḍalabrāhmaṇopaniṣat contain the most salient teachings of the Amanaska and can be considered to be a relatively recent transmission of the Amanaska’s tradition of Rājayoga.

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 āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
