Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchJagatsthita (जगत्स्थित) refers to “reaching (for) whatever is in the world”, 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. [...] [The Yogin] who has become absorbed in [that which has] no characteristics (i.e., the absolute) for twenty-two days, has the Siddhi [called] Prāpti, which enables him to reach [whatever] is in the world (jagatsthita). [...]”.
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).
