Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchViṃśatidina (विंशतिदिन) (or Viṃśativāsara) refers to the “time period of twenty days”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] By means of an absorption in the undivided self for twenty days (viṃśativāsara), the [Yogin] obtains the Siddhi called Laghimā by which he possesses the weight of an atom. [...]”.
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).
