In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Radiance refers to one of the various “outer signs” which will manifest after the Yogi’s purification of channels, according to the Dattātreyayogaśāstra 67c-d-69a-b:—Accordingly, “When purification of the channels occurs, signs manifest externally on the Yogin’s body. I shall mention all of them; lightness of body, radiance (dīpta), an increase in digestive fire and then leanness of the body should certainly arise”.
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).
In Science
Health Sciences
Radiance (symbol: L) refers to “radiant power emitted per unit of solid angle per unit of source area”.—In the science of “tissue heating by water-filtered infrared a radiation (WIRA)”, an exact terminology is crucial to prevent interdisciplinary misunderstanding and to be consistent with the International System of Units (SI).
