Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchĀtmākāra (आत्माकार) refers to the “form of the self”, according to the Brahmānanda’s Jyotsnā (verse 4.6).—Accordingly, “Because of the transformation into the self’s form (ātmākāra), of the mind [which is] situated in the self, the state of the self’s form [prevails], like [the transformation] of a crystal, situated near a China rose, into the form of a China rose”.
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).
