Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchIndriyanāśa (इन्द्रियनाश) refers to the “disappearance of the sense-organs”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] Therefore, the mind disappears because of the no-mind state and, because of the disappearance of the [mind], the tormenting breath disappears. And so, one who abides in the natural [no-mind] state is aware of non-duality, because of the disappearance of the body along with the sense organs (indriyanāśa) and intellect [sabuddhīndriyadehanāśād]. [...]”.
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).
