Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchNirvātasthāpita (निर्वातस्थापित) refers to “being stationed in a windless place”, 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. [...] Just as [the flame of] a lamp which has been put in a windless [place] (nirvātasthāpita) shines without moving, so the Yogin who has gone into absorption is free from the activities of the world. [...]”.
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).
