All the gods shake with fear, their eyes quivering (santrasta-locana). Aghorī's spirits appear in the clear of dawn by the thousands, of great majesty and deformed visage. [...]”
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).
