In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (yoga)Maṇḍalabrāhmanopaniṣad (मण्डलब्राह्मनोपनिषद्) represents one of the various 18th-century Yoga-Upaniṣads from the 18th-century (dealing with Yoga).—These so-called Yoga Upaniṣads are part of a recent recension compiled in South India in the first half of the eighteenth century and commented on by Upaniṣadbrahmayogin (See Bouy 1994). They include [e.g., the Maṇḍalabrāhmanopaniṣad].
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchMaṇḍalabrāhmaṇopaniṣat (मण्डलब्राह्मणोपनिषत्) and the Advayatārakopaniṣat are two Yoga Upaniṣads which preserve the most extensive teachings available on a system of yoga consisting of Tāraka and Amanaska. The eighteenth-century south-Indian commentator, Upaniṣadbrahmayogin, who wrote commentaries on both these Upaniṣads, understood their system of yoga to be Rājayoga. [...] Both these Upaniṣads appear to be relatively recent works. Jeffrey Ruff (2002: 120 n. 24) has noted that the Advayatārakopaniṣat does not appear in the normative lists of northern recensions of Upaniṣads and is first attested in the more recent southern Telugu tradition (1883). [...] The most obvious difference between the Maṇḍalabrāhmaṇopaniṣat and the Advayatārakopaniṣat is that the former is at least three times the size of the latter.
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).

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
