In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Grasping (sense-objects) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Graha, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] The knower of Yoga whose inhalation and exhalation have disappeared, whose grasping (graha) of [sense] objects has ceased, and who is motionless and free from [any] undertaking, attains bliss. [...]”.
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).
