Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchŚāstrarahasya (शास्त्ररहस्य) refers to the “secret in the (yoga) scriptures”, according to the Śivayogadīpikā by Sadāśivayogīśvara: a text dealing with Śaivism and Haṭhayoga in two hundred and eighty-nine verses.—Accordingly, “Since its meaning is secret in the yoga scriptures (śāstrarahasya), [this] guide to the doctrines of the Siddhas has been written concisely, and it should be known as the Śivayogadīpikā”.
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).
