Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchCakraparamparā (चक्रपरम्परा) refers to the “successions of cycles (in each cosmic period)”, according to the Mokṣopāya.—Accordingly: “[He is] known as Bhuśuṇḍa [because] his long life is known throughout the world. He is strong-minded because he has seen the coming and going of the Ages [of the world], and he is exhausted counting the successions of cycles (cakraparamparā) in each cosmic period”.
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).
