Yoga (school of philosophy)

1) (Being) Dissolved can denoted by the Sanskrit terms Līna, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] Just as ghee which has dissolved (līna) into [another batch of] ghee, is not separate [in any way] from [that] ghee, so the Yogin, who has dissolved into the highest reality, is not aware of separateness. [...]”.

2) The Dissolution (e.g., of Viṣṇu and Śiva) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Pralaya according to the Haṭhatattvakaumudī by Sundaradeva: a large compendium on Yoga in roughly 2000 Sanskrit verses quoting from Yoga texts, Upaniṣads, Epics, Purāṇas, Dharmaśāstras etc.—Accordingly, while discussing that Yogins enjoy an eternal bliss that is beyond the transcience of religious merit: “[...] There is no imperishable happiness without yoga. And so, it is said in the Amanaska: ‘Even in the dissolutions (pralaya) of Viṣṇu and Śiva, Yogins enjoy supreme bliss, like the great-souled Bhuśuṇḍa and others’.”.

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).

In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): (Jainism)

The Dissolution (of the body) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Pralīna, according to verse 12.42 of Hemacandra’s Yogaśāstra.—Accordingly, “At the time of the arising of the no-mind state, the Yogin experiences the body, which is as though it does not exist, as though [it were] separated, burned, flying up and dissolved (pralīna)”.

context information

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
