Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchBindunāda (बिन्दुनाद) refers to the “spot and sound”, according to the Jayottara 9.50.—Accordingly, [while describing meditation on the body of he supreme deity]: “Or, having extended the spot and sound (bindunāda), [the Yogin] should meditate on them. [When] he has naturally dissolved into them, precisely there the supreme state [arises]”.
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).
