In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSupreme Nectar is denoted by the Sanskrit term Parāmṛta, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [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 and pure, obtains the supreme nectar (parāmṛta). This natural, no-mind [state] has been taught thus [to Vāmadeva] directly by Śiva [himself] for the awakening of his disciples. However, [the no-mind state] is eternal, aspectless, undifferentiated, not expressible by speech and can only be experienced by oneself alone. [...]”.
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).
