Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSmṛtivākya (स्मृतिवाक्य) refers to the “statements of the Dharmaśāstras”, according to the 17th century Yogacintāmaṇi by Śivānanda: a large compilation of roughly 3423 verses dealing with the various methods of (Haṭha) Yoga and Aṣṭāṅgayoga.—Accordingly, “Only this Yoga called seedless Samādhi is a means to the goal of the supreme self and without this [Samādhi], there is not even the possibility of liberation. In regard to this, [the following] statements of the Vedas, Dharmaśāstras [i.e., smṛtivākya], Epics, Purāṇas and so on are the authority”.
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).
