Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchMudrānvita (मुद्रान्वित) refers to “(being) furnished with Mudrās”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “The preliminary [yoga] is furnished with external Mudrās (bahir-mudrānvita) and [thus,] it is regarded as an external yoga. [Whereas] the other [yoga] is richly endowed with an internal Mudrā [and] for that reason, it alone is the internal yoga”.
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).
