Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchRājānaka Ratnākara is the author of the Harivijaya.—The compound amanaskayoga is found in Rājānaka Ratnākara’s Haravijaya. This poet, who lived in Kashmir in the first half of the ninth century, wrote a hymn (stotra) to Śiva which is the sixth chapter (sarga) of the Haravijaya. The hymn praises Śiva in the terms of every soteriological system known to the poet, so it is possible that he saw the term amanaska in one of the Saiddhāntika sources.
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).
