Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchBandhamokṣa (बन्धमोक्ष) refers to “liberation and bondage”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] The mind alone is the cause of people’s liberation and bondage (bandhamokṣa). The mind which clings to sense objects [leads] to bondage, and the mind which is free from sense objects, to liberation. All this, whatever is moving and motionless, is [just] a visible object of the mind. For, when the mind has become free of the mind, [Yogins] call it the state of non-duality. [...]”.
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).
