Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchAmalamukura (अमलमुकुर) refers to a “spotless mirror”, according to the Hemacandra’s Yogaśāstra.—[Cf. Amanaska Yoga 2.65c].—The parallel verse in Hemacandra’s Yogaśāstra indicates that he read a compound meaning; “the spotless mirror (amalamukura) of the highest reality” [paratattvāmalamukure]. The majority of manuscripts agree on the ligatures ā-da-rś-, so it appears that Hemacandra substituted mukure for ādarśe, most probably because his verse is written in a different metre (i.e., Āryā).
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).
