In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchAtiniścala (अतिनिश्चल) refers to “being completely still”, according to Hemacandra’s commentary (the Svopajña) on Yogaśāstra 12.4 (Cf. Amanaska 2.97).—Accordingly, [while explaining the integrated and absorbed states of mind]: “The integrated [mind] is said to be steady and accompanied by bliss, [that is to say,] it is accompanied by bliss because it is steady. The absorbed [mind] is completely still (atiniścala) and immersed in supreme bliss. These two [states of] mind apprehend just those, [which are] merely mental, and not external”.
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).
