Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchŪrdhvabhāga (ऊर्ध्वभाग) refers to the “upper region” (i.e., “the region above the root of the palate”), according to the Advayatārakopaniṣad: an eighteenth-century Yoga Upaniṣad.—Accordingly: “The higher [yoga] which is without [mental] limitations is called Amanaska. A great ray of light exists in the region above the root of the palate (tālumūla-ūrdhvabhāga). Yogins should meditate on it. By doing so, the [eight] Siddhis beginning with minimization [are attain]”.
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).

Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
