In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchFixed Mercury is denoted by the Sanskrit term Siddha-Rasa, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] When the highest reality is revealed by the guru, [the Yogin] becomes instantly absorbed in it. Having liberated the self by the self, he is certainly liberated. Just as copper becomes gold from the touch of fixed mercury (siddharasa), [so] the student becomes absorbed in the highest reality from hearing the teachings of the Guru. [...]”.
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).
