Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchEkādaśavāsara (एकादशवासर) (Cf. Ekādaśāhan) refers to the “time period of eleven days”, 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. [...] And then, within a period of eleven days (ekādaśāhan), the body of [the Yogin] who is abiding in absorption and devoid of mind, desires to move because [it] rises up swiftly. [...]”.
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).
