Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchPrayatnaparivarjita (प्रयत्नपरिवर्जित) refers to “being free from effort”, according to Hemacandra’s Yogaśāstra (verse 12.33-35).—Accordingly, [while describing a method for conquering the mind]: “[He whose] self is constantly immersed in detachment; [who is] free from effort (prayatnaparivarjita) and whose supreme bliss has manifested, does not fix his mind on any place. A mind that is disregarded by the self, never governs the sense organs and so, even the sense organs do not act with respect to their own respective objects. When the self does not impel the mind and the mind does not impel the sense organs, then [the mind] which falls away from both, naturally attains dissolution”.
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).
