In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Upaga (उपग) refers to “becoming susceptible (to power)”, according to the Pātañjalayogaśāstra (1.2).—Accordingly, “For, mind has the three qualities (Sattva, Rajas and Tamas) because of its tendency to clarity, activity and duration. The mind’s Sattva has the form of clarity and, when it is mixed with Rajas and Tamas, [the mind] becomes fond of power and sense-objects. [When] penetrated by [more] Tamas, the [mind] becomes susceptible to power (aiśvarya-upaga) through irreligious behaviour, ignorance and attachment. [...]”.
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).
India history and geography
Upaga.—(CII 1), suitable; cf. manuṣy-opaga, ‘beneficial to men’. Note: upaga is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
