Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchAkhilakalpana (अखिलकल्पन) refers to “all one’s conceptual thinking”, according to verse 6.21.14 of the Mokṣopāya.—Accordingly, as Bhuśuṇḍa said to Vasiṣṭha: “When mundane activity in the usual state of the world has fallen [into disarray] at the end of [the world's] duration, then I leave my nest like an ungrateful person [leaves] a good friend. I remain in the ether, all my conceptual thinking (akhilakalpana) has disappeared, and my constitution and body are immobilized so that my mind is without habitual tendencies. [...]”.
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).
