Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchHemasaṅkāśa (हेमसङ्काश) refers to “having the appearance of gold”, according to the twelfth chapter of the Mālinīvijayottaratantra (12.22-24).—Accordingly, the Yogin is instructed to visualize his own body as having the qualities of the earth element, which in this case has the appearance of gold (hemasaṅkāśa), four corners and is marked by thunderbolts. By doing so for three years, he gains an adamantine body.
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).
