Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchVedāntatarka (वेदान्ततर्क) refers to the “philosophical arguments of the Upaniṣads”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] For, [that desired state] cannot be realized by the proclamations of the philosophical arguments of the Upaniṣads (vedāntatarka), [nor] the Tantric scriptures, a multitude of texts of various sorts, excellent Mudrās and [practices] such as meditation, without the one and only guru who is the wish-fulfilling jewel. [...]”.
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).
