Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSectarian Emblems are denoted by the Sanskrit term Liṅga-Grahaṇa, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] Adopting external sectarian emblems (liṅga-grahaṇa) such as [carrying] one staff, three staffs and so on; [wearing] matted hair, ashes and the like; plucking out the hair and nakedness; wearing ochre robes; pretending to be mad, adopting the way of a non-vedic religion and [consuming] food and drink that should not be consumed, [are all] seen in various religions. [...]”.
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).
