Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchNānāguru (नानागुरु) refers to “various Gurus”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Even] without [other] yoga texts and the various opinions of gurus (nānāguru), Listen: this is self-realization [which] generates instant proof [of its own effectiveness]. Always avoid the [yoga] with form, mind and effort. Always adopt the [yoga] with no form, no mind and no effort. [...]”.
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).
