Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchNitāntabhadrā (नितान्तभद्रा) refers to “extraordinary happiness”, according to the Yogatārāvalī.—Accordingly, [while describing yoganidrā]: “[...] [This] Yogic sleep, whose extraordinary happiness (nitāntabhadrā) [arises] from ceaseless practice, blossoms in the Yogin whose roots of intentional and volitional thought have been cut off and whose network of Karma has been completely rooted out. Having mastered cessation [of the mind] in the fourth state which is superior to the three states beginning with the mundane, O friend, forever enter that special thoughtless sleep full of [pure] consciousness”.
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).
