In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSaptadhātumaya (सप्तधातुमय) refers to “that which consists of the seven Dhātus”, according to the Yogabīja (verse 76cd-78ab; Cf verse 51-53).—Accordingly, “The wise [Yogin] burns his body, consisting of the seven Dhātus (saptadhātumaya), with the fire [stoked by Haṭhayoga]. His diseases and torments such as deprivation and physical harm vanish, and he remains embodied, his form [like] the supreme ether. What more can be said? He does not die”.
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).
