Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchŚaktitattvalaya (शक्तितत्त्वलय) refers to “being absorbed in the Śakti element”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] Performing the practice of the elements, [the Yogin continues to be] seen in the world occupying a body, and he maintains the practice of the elements in order to [remain] absorbed in the Śakti element (śaktitattvalaya). [...]”.
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).
