Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSāṃsārikakriyā (सांसारिकक्रिया) refers to “sacrifices related to the world of transmigration”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [The Yogin] should avoid one who says, ‘I am the knower of Brahma’ [but who is also] attached to performing [Vedic] sacrifices [that are] connected to the world of transmigration (sāṃsārikakriyā-yukta). [Such a person] has lost the benefit of both [Vedic] action and the [Upaniṣadic knowledge of] Brahma [and should be avoided] just as [a Brahmin avoids] an untouchable. [...]”.
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).
