Yoga (school of philosophy)

Abhojya (अभोज्य) refers to “that which should not be consumed”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] Adopting external sectarian emblems such as [carrying] one staff, three staffs and so on; [wearing] matted hair, ashes and the like; plucking out the hair and nakedness; wearing ochre robes; pretending to be mad, adopting the way of a non-vedic religion and [consuming] food and drink that should not be consumed (abhojya), [are all] seen in various religions. [...]”.

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).

Abhojya (अभोज्य):—[tatpurusha compound] m. f. n.

(-jyaḥ-jyā-jyam) 1) Not to be con-sumed by eating or drinking, unfit for food, prohibited as food; e. g. Manu: abhojyamannaṃ nāttavyamātmanaḥ śuddhimicchatā; or Mahābh. Śāntip.: cikitsakasya yaccānnamabhojyaṃ rakṣiṇastathā . gaṇagrāmābhiśastānāṃ raṅgastrījīvināṃ tathā; (unfit for drinking e. g.) Vṛhat-Śātātapa: pītaśeṣaṃ tu yatkiṃcidbhojane mukhaniḥsṛtam . abhojyaṃ taddvijasyāhurbhuktvā cāndrāyaṇaṃ caret; sometimes contrasted with ‘what is unfit to be drunk’ and then used in the same sense as abhakṣya; e. g. Śāntip.: pretānnaṃ sūtikānnaṃ ca yacca kiṃcidanirdaśam . abhojyaṃ cāpyapeyaṃ ca dhenordugdhamanirdaśam; but in general (though not always) the use of abhakṣya is restricted to solid food while abhojya is said of eating and drinking; (comp. also the criticism of Kātyāy. on Pāṇ. Vii. 3. 69. where the latter renders bhojya with bhakṣya while he ought to have rendered it, according to Kātyāy., abhyavahārya q. v.; for bhojyaḥ sūpaḥ and bhojyā yavāgūḥ are, as Patanjali instances, as good expressions as others where bhojya is combined with articles of solid food; Patanjali, it is true, defends at the same time Pāṇini by observing that the derivatives of bhakṣ are sometimes used, too, in connexion with liquids or food in general, e. g. in abbhakṣa or vāyubhakṣa; but in general the distinction, pointed out in the Vārttika of Kātyāy. is correct; Patanj.: kiṃ punaḥ kāraṇaṃ na sidhyati . bhakṣirayaṃ kharaviśade vartate . tena drave na prāpnoti . nāvaśyaṃ bhakṣiḥ kharaviśade vartate . kiṃ tarhi . anyatrāpi vartate . tadyathā . abbhakṣo vāyubhakṣa iti). For prohibited articles of food and the penances on eating such food see the quotation s. v. abhakṣya.

2) One whose food must not be eaten; see the following; e. g. Manu: abhojyānāṃ tu bhuktvānnaṃ strīśūdrocchiṣṭameva ca . jagdhvā māṃsamabhakṣyaṃ ca saptarātraṃ yavānpibet (Kull.: aº = abhojyānnānām; Medhāt.: yeṣāmannaṃ na bhujyate tebhojyāḥ puruṣāḥ). E. a neg. and bhojya.
