Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchViṣayatyāga (विषयत्याग) refers to “giving up sense objects”, according to the Haṭhapradīpikā of Svātmārāma: an influential 15th-century Sanskrit manual on Hatha-Yoga dealing with techniques to channel one’s vital energy.—Accordingly, “Giving up sense objects (viṣayatyāga) is difficult to achieve; seeing the highest reality is [also] difficult, and [so too] is attaining the natural state [of Samādhi], without the compassion of a true Guru”.
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).
