In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Prakaṭana (प्रकटन) refers to “elucidating” (a particular philosophical system), according to Upaniṣadbrahmayogin’s commentary on the Maṇḍalabrāhmaṇopaniṣat.—Accordingly, “Here then is this Maṇḍalabrāhmaṇopaniṣat, which is part of the white Yajurveda. It reveals the whole of the illustrious Rājayoga [consisting of] the three gazing points, five voids, two Tārakas and so on, after elucidating (prakaṭana) the Yoga with eight subtle auxiliaries”.
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).
