: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchManoyukta (啶え啷嬥く啷佮啷嵿い) refers to 鈥渢hat which is dependent on the mind鈥�, according to the South-Indian recension of 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...] T膩raka [yoga] has a form consisting of all material forms and is limited to the senses. Practiced in two ways, it is dependent on the mind (manoyukta) [and] causes one to cross over everything [to liberation]. Having fixed the eyes on a light, [the yogin] should raise the eyebrows a little. This method of the preliminary yoga causes the no-mind state [to arise] spontaneously. [...]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).
