Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchManonāśa (मनोनाश) refers to the “disappearance of mind”, according to the Mokṣopāya (verse 5.93.11-12ab) and Yogavāsiṣṭha (verse 5.92.11-14).—Accordingly, “So long as the mind is not dissolved, habitual tendencies are not destroyed. Knowledge of the highest reality, the disappearance of mind (manonāśa) and the destruction of habitual tendencies are difficult to overthrow having become a cause of one another and thus, they remain”.
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).
