In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (yoga)Dharmavartmodayā (धर्मवर्त्मोदया) refers to “she who arises on the path of dharma” and is used to describe Chinnamastā , according to the Amṛtasiddhi, a 12th-century text belonging to the Haṭhayoga textual tradition.—Accordingly, “At the navel is a white lotus. On top of that is the spotless orb of the sun. In the middle of that, at the triple pathway, is she who is the sole essence of saṃsāra [and] the creator of the three worlds, who arises on the path of dharma (dharmavartmodayā), who has three bodies [and] who is lauded as Chinnamastā, “she whose head is cut.” I worship her, she who has the form of knowledge, who removes the danger of death, the Yoginī, the seal of Yoga”.
Note: Until the 16th century, Chinnamastā is not mentioned in non-Buddhist texts (Bühnemann 2000, 37). Her Vajrayāna origins have been demonstrated by Sanderson (2009, 240–241), who notes how the epithet dharmodayā, found in the Amṛtasiddhi as dharmavartmodayā, is “strictly Buddhist”. One might argue that this maṅgala verse could be an addition to the text when it was redacted by a Vajrayāna tradition, but the verse is also found in the Grantha manuscript M2 in a corrupt form. Chinnamastā’s name is given therein as Cittahasthā, but the epithets dharmavartmodayā and tritayatanudharā are preserved. The Rajasthani and Nepali manuscripts omit the verse.
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).
