In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSaṃvīkṣya (संवीक्ष्य) refers to “having discerned” (one’s disposition), according to the South-Indian recension of the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “My dearest one of great wisdom! Hear of that which causes one to cross over the ocean of life and death. It is inaccessible to all the gods and has been concealed in all the Tantras. Having discerned (saṃvīkṣya) your disposition, [your] state [of being] which is wholly intent on non-duality and your genuine devotion, I will fully explain [that which will enable you to cross over to liberation]. [...]”.
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).
