In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch1) The Master (of everything) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Guru, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] [The Yogin] whose mind has disappeared for twenty-six days obtains sovereignty over the world, by which he becomes the master of all (viśva-guru). [...]”.
2) (Being the) Master (of the sun, etc.) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Niyoktṛ or Niyoktṛtva, according to verse 10.16 of Sureśvarācārya’s Mānasollāsa.—Accordingly, “By merely his own will, [the Yogin] is the agent of creation, preservation and destruction of worlds and the master (niyoktṛtva) of the sun and so on. This is called [the Siddhi of] sovereignty”.
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).
