In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchVaśānugā (वशानुगा) refers to “being under control”, according to the Parākhyatantra verse 2.60-61.—Accordingly: while discussing śiva’s transmental nature: “That power which leads the bound soul to the reality-level that is beyond the mind and devoid of support is taught to be the power Manonmanī that belongs to the god Manonmana. That which suddenly brings souls in this world to a state of mindlessness is taught in this [Tantra] to be [the power] Unmanī, who is in the control (vaśānugā) of [a Rudra called] Unmana”.
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).
