Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSaṅkalpaparaṃpara (सङ्कल्पपरंपर) refers to the “streams of intentional thinking”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [When the gaze] is focused constantly, [it results] in forcibly cutting off the streams of intentional thinking (saṅkalpaparaṃpara). [Then,] because of the disappearance of its object [of focus], the gaze, while very gradually weakening, [finally] ceases. The more the mind becomes steady through the constant practice [of focusing the gaze], so does breath, speech, body and gaze. [...]”.
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).
