In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchŚivayogadīpikā (शिवयोगदीपिका) consists of two hundred and eighty-nine verses in five chapters, and is attributed either to a Sadāśivayogīśvara or Sadāśivayoginātha. The Śivayogadīpikā contains verses on Tārakayoga, which is a type of Yoga distinguished by teachings on the three gazing points (lakṣya) and by its classification as either an auxiliary or type of Rājayoga.
The Śivayogadīpikā is included in the Kaulārṇava, according to the editors of the New Catalogus Catalogorum (in the entry on Kaulārṇavatantra).—[...] There is an IFP transcript (No. T1027) of a manuscript entitled Kaulārṇava, which is not the Kulārṇavatantra but rather a collection of texts including the Kulārṇavatantra. This collection begins with a medieval yoga text by the name of the Śivayogapradīpikā (also known as the Śivayogadīpikā), which is followed by some short texts such as the Kaulopaniṣat. It ends with the largest work in the collection, the Kulārṇavatantra.
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).

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
