In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchVismṛti (विस्मृति) refers to the “forgetting (of all sense objects)”, according to the Bodhasāra, section 12, Layayoga 35.—Accordingly, “Because it is a cause of the [Yogin’s] forgetting (vismṛti) of all [sense objects], fusing [the mind] in the [internal] resonance is the best of all the absorptions. For, it is the supreme absorption”.
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).
