Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSvarūpapratiṣṭha (स्वरूपप्रतिष्ठ) refers to “being established in its own essence”, according to the Pātañjalayogaśāstra (1.2).—Accordingly, “[...] [When] its covering of delusion is destroyed and, shining in every direction, it is penetrated by only Rajas, the [mind] becomes capable of religious activity, wisdom, detachment and power. [When] free from the impurity of [even] a slight trace of Rajas and established in its own essence (svarūpapratiṣṭha), [and when it consists of] merely the perception of the otherness of Spirit from Sattva, the [mind] becomes capable of meditation on Dharmamegha”.
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).
