Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchVairāgyayoga (वैराग्ययोग) refers to the “Yoga of detachment ”, according to the Niśvāsakārikā verse 32.149cd-152.—Accordingly, while discussing the character of teachings on no-mind: “The goddess asked: ‘What is [the benefit] of this yoga of detachment [i.e., vairāgyayoga]; is Siddhi [obtained by it] or not? I desire to know this, O Lord, please tell [me]’. The Lord said: ‘O goddess, listen to the supreme secret [teaching] and its unsurpassed Siddhi. It has no form, no colour and no meditation. It is both with and without aspects. It lacks anything through which it can be acted upon and it has no location. [This] great no-mind yoga is not a division of [mantra] recitation, is free from form and colour [but] gives all Siddhis’”.
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).
