Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchRājayogapada (राजयोगपद) refers to the “state of Samādhi”, according to the Haṭhapradīpikā of Svātmārāma: an influential 15th-century Sanskrit manual on Hatha-Yoga dealing with techniques to channel one’s vital energy.—Accordingly, “Samādhi is not accomplished without Haṭhayoga and Haṭhayoga is not accomplished without Samādhi. Therefore, [the Yogin] should practise both until the [final stage of Yoga called] Niṣpatti [is attained]. After stopping the breath by means of [one of] the retentions [taught earlier], the Yogin should make the mind unsupported [by sense objects]. Thus, by means of practice, he goes to the state of Samādhi (rājayogapada)”.
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).
