In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSuptotthita (सुप्तोत्थित) refers to “who has (suddenly) arisen from sleep”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] The Yogin cultivates that state which arises at the end of waking and the beginning of sleep. He is surely liberated [by it]. Just as someone who has suddenly arisen from sleep (suptotthita) becomes aware of sense objects, so the yogin wakes up from that [world of sense objects] at the end of his yogic sleep [in the no-mind state]. [...]”.
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).
