In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSūparasa (सूपरस) refers to the “flavour of the sauce”, according to the Mahābhārata (book 10, chapter 5, verse 2).—Accordingly, “Having worshipped a learned man even for a long time, a stupid [man, even if a] hero does not know his religious duties, like a ladle [does not know] the flavour of the sauce (sūparasa)”.
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).
