Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchVāsaramātra (वासरमात्र) (Cf. Dinamātra) refers to the “time of one day”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] By means of an absorption for just the day (dinamātra), the highest reality of [the Yogin’s] own self becomes manifest. An expansion of his sensory knowledge arises for him, even to [the limits of] the universe. [...]”.
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).
