In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchViṣayaka (विषयक) means “concerning”, according to Divākara’s commentary on the Bodhasāra’s first verse on its section on Rājayoga.—Accordingly, “Rājayoga is the yoga of kings, because rulers can accomplish it even when [they] remain in their position (i.e., as kings). [It is] the yoga associated with [kings] and its [main] characteristic is knowledge concerning (viṣayaka) the union of the individual self with Brahma”.
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).
