Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchTrisaptakula (त्रिसप्तकुल) refers to “twenty-one generations (of one’s family)”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “The point of focus is internal, [yet] the gaze is outward and free from closing and opening the eyes. Indeed, this is Śāmbhavī Mudrā, which is hidden in all the Tantras [...]. From seeing and venerating that [person who knows this Mudrā], people along with twenty-one generations (trisaptakula) [of their families], proceed to the state of liberation. How much more will those who are devoted to that [Mudrā]? [...]”.
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).
