Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchNivātadīpa (निवातदीप) refers to “(becoming) still like a lamp”, according to the Yogatārāvalī: a short Yoga text of twenty-nine verses presenting Haṭhayoga as the means to Rājayoga (i.e., Samādhi).—Accordingly, while describing the no-mind state: “When the movement of the breath is quashed through the prolonged restraint of the mind and senses, the bodies of the best Yogins become still like a lamp (nivātadīpa) in a windless place and their minds are immersed in the no-mind [state]”.
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).
