Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchDhyāyamāna (ध्यायमान) refers to “one who is meditating”, according to the Niśvāsakārikā (verse 44.309; IFP T17, p. 467).—Accordingly, “Wherever the mind of the meditating (dhyāyamāna) Yogin would go, there the supreme Brahma is located, existing as all things”.
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).

O supreme goddess, she will (abide constantly) meditating (dhyāyamānā) on (the being) in the lotus of (her) heart born from an aspect of me. He will then become visible and (although) standing before (you) you will not know it. O fair lady! You who are delighted by bliss! He will (also) not see (anything). [...]”.
