Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchA Storehouse (of merit) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Bhājana, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] And Umā, the primal power, was the one who formerly received this [Mudrā] from me. Now, you alone have received it because of the [accumulated] impressions [of meritorious actions] done in [your former] births. [This] knowledge [which is] more secret than a secret, ought not to be given to just anyone. The place in which the knower of this dwells is a storehouse of merit (puṇya-bhājana). [...]”.
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).
