In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Jayānaka (जयानक) or “Rājānaka Jayānaka” is the father of Rājānaka Alaka according to the colophons of the commentary on the Harivijaya by Rājānaka Ratnākara.—There is a Rājānaka Jayānaka who wrote a Kāvya called the Pṛthvīrājavijaya, possibly composed in the late twelfth century when King Pṛthvīrāja reigned, for Jayānaka may have been one of his court poets (Lienhard 1984: 219).
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).
