Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchBandhahetu (बन्धहेतु) refers to the “cause of bondage”, according to the Maṇḍalabrāhmaṇopaniṣad (verse 4.5).—Accordingly, “The mind, in which there is intentional thinking and so on, is the cause of bondage (bandhahetu). The mind devoid of [intentional thinking and so on] leads to liberation”.
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).
