In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchNirārambha (निरारम्भ) or Nirārambhaka refers to “being free from” (any undertaking), according to the Mahābhārata verse 14.19.1-2.—Accordingly: while describing the supreme knowledge of the eternal and unchanging state: “He who has become absorbed in one object, silently not thinking of anything, having abandoned [everything] prior [to this] is free from (nirārambhaka) any undertaking. He is a friend to all, endures all, is indifferent [to all things], his senses controlled, his fear and anger have ceased, his desire slain, [this] man is free”.
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).
