Yoga (school of philosophy)

Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch

Guṇātīta (गुणातीत) refers to “beyond mundane attributes”, according to the Gorakṣasiddhāntasaṅgraha, a text dealing with Yoga quoting from approximately seventy-two sources including the Amanaska Yoga treatise.—Accordingly, [while describing the true Guru]: “Therefore, since [the attributes of a guru] are beyond [mundane] attributes (guṇātīta-tva), only one who is beyond religious observance has the qualities of a guru [who] bestows liberation, and no other [person] whatsoever [can have them]. [This] is frequently explained in scripture [...]”.

context information

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).
