Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchĀnandapada (आनन्दपद) refers to a “state of bliss”, according to the Netratantra 3.13.—Accordingly: [while describing the practice of concentration (dhāraṇā)]: “‘I do not exist and no other exists’ ought to be meditated on [until] no [thing] is experienced in [that void]. The mind is dissolved into a state of bliss (ānandapada) and attains Samādhi”.
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).
