Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchLearned Scholars are denoted by the Sanskrit term Sūri, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] Learned scholars (sūri) who possess intellect do talk about the highest Brahma, [but] those who are skilled in communicating [even] a small part of self-realization are hard to find in this 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).
