Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSaṅkalpakalpanā (सङ्कल्पकल्पना) refers to the “forming of conceptual thought”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] As long as there is [even] a modicum of effort and the forming of conceptual thought (saṅkalpakalpanā), then, absorption of the mind is not attained, what to say of the highest reality? The tree of the mundane world will fall [because] its root, [which is] the mind, has been uprooted by the Yogin [who] is growing [in strength] as a result of the flood of the nectar of detachment. [...]”.
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).
