Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchUnmanīkāraka (उन्मनीकारक) refers to a “cause of the no-mind state”, according to the Haṭharatnāvalī (4.6) and the Nādabindūpaniṣat (40).—Accordingly, “Then, having become detached through constant practice, the self-restrained [Yogin] should immediately fix his attention solely on the [internal] sound, which is a cause of the no-mind state (unmanīkāraka)”.
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).
