[...] By means of an absorption for five [days and] nights, the faculty of hearing (śravaṇavijñāna) from afar, which causes great wonder, certainly arises for the [Yogin]. [...]”.
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).
