That which suddenly brings souls in this world to a state of mindlessness is taught in this [Tantra] to be [the power] Unmanī, who is in the control of [a Rudra called] Unmana”.
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).
