Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchAṣṭāviṃśatidina (अष्टाविंशतिदिन) (or Aṣṭāviṃśatyahan) refers to the “time period of twenty-eight days”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] [The yogin] whose absorption in the steady self remains for twenty-eight days (aṣṭāviṃśatyahan), obtains the Siddhi of control, by which he subjugates the world. [...]”.
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).
