Janmakṛta (जन्मकृत) refers to “practice performed in (one’s) life”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] The highest reality [can] manifest spontaneously because of a [yoga] practice performed in another life (janmakṛta), like a [former] idea [returns to] one who has awoken from sleep, without [any] teaching or the like. [However], for one whose practice is pure and who is peaceful, knowledge of the highest reality appears in this very [birth] because of the Guru’s favour [which is won by] serving him.[...]”.

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).
