Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchRaṇitadehaka (रणितदेहक) refers to the “quivering of the body” (due to the agitation of vital airs), according to the Mokṣopāya (verse 5.54.4-5, 9 and 16).—Accordingly, “When the first part of Om whose [entire] length consists of three and a half parts, was [articulated] as a clear sound by which the body quivered (raṇitadehaka) because the vital airs were slightly agitated, the process of expelling the vital airs, [which is] called Recaka, made the whole body empty, just as Agastya drank [all] the water [and made] the ocean [empty]...”.
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).
