Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchNirvātodaka (निर्वातोदक) refers to “windless water”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] Just as everything disappears [from view] as the sun sets, so, the whole network of [past] actions dissolves into the no-mind [state]. [The Yogin] who has bathed in the no-mind lake, which is free from the crocodiles of the senses and whose water is free from the wind (nirvātodaka) and pure [nirvātanirmalodake], obtains the supreme nectar. [...]”.
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).
