In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSulīna (सुलीन) refers to “being immersed” (in supreme bliss), according to Hemacandra’s commentary (the Svopajña) on Yogaśāstra 12.4 (Cf. Amanaska 2.97).—Accordingly, [while explaining the integrated and absorbed states of mind]: “The integrated [mind] is said to be steady and accompanied by bliss, [that is to say,] it is accompanied by bliss because it is steady. The absorbed [mind] is completely still and immersed (sulīna) in supreme bliss. These two [states of] mind apprehend just those, [which are] merely mental, and not external”.
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 to German]
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.
