Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (yoga)Atidurghaṭa (अतिदुर्घट) refers to “very inaccessible”, according to the Amṛtasiddhi, a 12th-century text belonging to the Haṭhayoga textual tradition.—Accordingly, “Know bindu to be of two kinds, male and female. Semen (bīja) is said to be the male [bindu] and rajas (female generative fluid) is female. [...] Know bindu to be made of the moon and rajas to be made of the sun. Their union is to be brought about in the very inaccessible (atidurghaṭa) multi-storeyed palace”.
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).
