: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch²Ñ²¹²Ô´Ç²Ô³¾²¹²ÔÄ« (मनोनà¥à¤®à¤¨à¥€) refers to the power that belongs to Manonmana, according to the ParÄkhyatantra verse 2.60-61.—Accordingly: while discussing Å›iva’s transmental nature: “That power which leads the bound soul to the reality-level that is beyond the mind and devoid of support is taught to be the power ²Ñ²¹²Ô´Ç²Ô³¾²¹²ÔÄ« that belongs to the god Manonmana. That which suddenly brings souls in this world to a state of mindlessness is taught in this [Tantra] to be [the power] UnmanÄ«, who is in the control of [a Rudra called] Unmanaâ€�.

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