Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchTattvasaṃmukha (तत्त्वसंमुख) refers to “one who faces the highest reality”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I will teach the practice of that, which produces absorption. [...] The Yogin, who is free from all thoughts in regard to [everything] internal and external, should meditate with [his] mind on nothing. [Then,] he becomes one who faces the highest reality (tattvasaṃmukha). [...]”.
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).
