Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchMahajjyotis (महज्ज्योतिस्) refers to a “great light”.—Most of the parallel passages between [the Maṇḍalabrāhmaṇopaniṣat and Advayatārakopaniṣat] and the Amanaska contain slight yet significant differences. For example, in the Amanaska, the orb of light which the Yogin visualizes is referred to as jyotirmaṇḍala, whereas in these Upaniṣads it is a “great light” (mahajjyotis). Nonetheless, both the Advayatārakopaniṣat and Maṇḍalabrāhmaṇopaniṣat contain the most salient teachings of the Amanaska and can be considered to be a relatively recent transmission of the Amanaska’s tradition of Rājayoga.
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).
