Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSaṃkrāmya (संक्राम्य) refers to “transferring” (the no-mind state), according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Those] gurus who transfer (saṃkrāmya) the no-mind [state] to good students and [thereby] stop [any] pleasure derived from the senses, are praiseworthy. The others are [just] deceivers. When the highest reality is revealed by the guru, [the Yogin] becomes instantly absorbed in it. Having liberated the self by the self, he is certainly liberated. [...]”.
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).
