In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchLayers (of leaf sheaths) are denoted by the Sanskrit term Chada, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] When the thorn of mental-faculties has been uprooted, roots and all, by means of the no-mind spade, the sage becomes happy. Like a plantain tree, the great illusion, whose layers (chada) [of leaf sheaths] along with the mind and senses, perishes totally when it has produced the fruit of the no-mind [state]. [...]”.
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).
