Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch(That which is) Unchangeable is denoted by the Sanskrit term Dhruva, and is used to describe the “highest reality” (paratattva) [paraṃ tattvaṃ], according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] Now, I will teach knowledge for the liberation of those people who have conquered their passion. [...] [The highest reality] is formless, undivided, ungraspable, unmoving, unchangeable (dhruva), free from all limiting adjuncts [such as time, place and so on] and devoid of any [object of] desire. [...]”.
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).
