In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchMārgadarśana (मार्गदर्शन) refers to the “view of the (true) path”, according to the Gorakṣasiddhāntasaṅgraha, a text dealing with Yoga quoting from approximately seventy-two sources including the Amanaska Yoga treatise.—Accordingly, [while describing the true Guru]: “[...] In the Amanaska, [it is said]: ‘Indeed, the guru who has transcended Kaula practices is unique and rare’. Thus, caste and religious observances which are taught, do not exist. The [guru is one who] abandons all obligations in the practice of caste and religious observances. Moreover, the Avadhūta alone is [one who] acts according to his view of the true path (san-mārgadarśana-śīla). He alone is the guru [who] ought to be adopted by those desirous of liberation”.
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).
