In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Wisdom Library: 艢aivism膧办腻艣补迟补迟迟惫补 (啶嗋啶距ざ啶むい啷嵿い啷嵿さ, 鈥渟pace鈥�):鈥擮ne of the Thirty-six Tattvas, according to 艢aiva doctrine. This is the thirty-second or fifth tattva (when counting in reverse). These primary principles (tattva) represent the different manifestations of Brahman (universal consciousness) which together form the basis of our experiences. The 膧k膩艣a-tattva forms part of the group of twenty-four 础艣耻诲诲丑补-迟补迟迟惫补蝉, which together constitue the realm of 础艣耻诲诲丑补-尘腻测腻. It also forms part of the sub-group named Mah膩bh奴ta (鈥榞reat elements鈥�).
Shaiva (啶多啶�, 艣aiva) or Shaivism (艣aivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram膧办腻艣补迟补迟迟惫补 (啶嗋啶距ざ啶むい啷嵿い啷嵿さ) or simply 膧k膩艣a refers to the 鈥渟pace principle鈥�, according to the Manth膩nabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjik膩.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥�(Kubjik膩) is the colour of (dark) blue collyrium. [...] The lotus, which is the eight-fold creation, should be imagined on the ghost. The Earth principle is in (the Wheel) of the Self-supported. One should think that Water is in (her) navel and Fire in the centre of the heart. One should imagine that Wind is in (her) throat and Space [i.e., 腻办腻艣补] on (her) forehead. All (the elements) are located in these (places). Thousands of millions of Kulas are part of the Kula tradition. The teaching concerning (the goddess鈥檚) body is hard to acquire even by the gods.鈥�.
Shakta (啶多ぞ啶曕啶�, 艣膩kta) or Shaktism (艣膩ktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch膧办腻艣补迟补迟迟惫补 (啶嗋啶距ざ啶むい啷嵿い啷嵿さ) refers to the 鈥渆lement of ether鈥�, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.鈥擜ccordingly, as 莫艣vara says to V膩madeva: 鈥淸...] Now, I will teach knowledge for the liberation of those people who have conquered their passion. [...] The element earth is first, water second, fire third, air fourth, ether fifth (腻办腻艣补tattva) [腻办腻艣补峁� pa帽cama峁� tattva峁�] and mind is said to be the sixth. The seventh is the highest reality: he who knows it, is liberated. [...]鈥�.
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 膩sanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
