Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (yoga)Nididhyāsana (निदिध्यासन) refers to “meditation”, according to Śivānandasarasvatī’s Yogacintāmaṇi, a 17th-century text on Haṭhayoga by consisting of 3423 verses.—Accordingly, “Meditation (nididhyāsana) along with the practices [ancillary to it] have been explained briefly by me according to scripture and my understanding. Listening to and contemplating [the teachings] which are seen in detail and at length only in the Upaniṣads, have not been discussed for fear of prolixity. [...]”.
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchNididhyāsana (निदिध्यासन) refers to the “subject of meditation”, according to the 17th century Yogacintāmaṇi by Śivānanda: a large compilation of roughly 3423 verses dealing with the various methods of (Haṭha) Yoga and Aṣṭāṅgayoga.—Accordingly, while discussing the scope of his work: “The [subject of] meditation (nididhyāsana) along with the practices [ancillary to it] have been expounded briefly by me according to scripture and [my] understanding. Vedic study and contemplation which is taught only in the Upaniṣads has not been spoken of in detail [nor] at length for fear of prolixity. [...]”.
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).
