Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch(The woman’s) Vagina is denoted by the Sanskrit term Bhaga, according to the Amaraughaprabodha: a short 13th century treatise on Yoga attributed to Gorakṣanātha which teaches the fourfold system of yoga (Mantra, Laya, Haṭha and Rāja).—Accordingly, “Some draw up [their] semen that falls from a woman’s vagina (bhaga) after having penetrated [her]. [...] They do not have mastery of the body without [the state of] Rājayoga, in which their minds are absent. When the mind has attained equanimity and the breath moves into the central channel, [then] these Amarolī, Vajrolī and Sahajolī [Mudras] arise”.
Sanskrit synonyms of Vagina: Bhaga, Yonimaṇḍala.
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).
