In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
: INSA Digital Repository: Carakaās Approach to KnowledgeAbsolute Annihilation refers to the āultimate stateā� according to Charaka Samhita Sharira verse 1:98-100.ā[...] Carakaās evolution (parinama) is not open ended like Darwinās evolution; parinama will terminate in infinite time and the universe with its stupendous diversity will dissolve into avyakta to begin the cyclical process of evolution again. The whole process has no external control and is deaf to human supplications. The ultimate state is absolute annihilation or an indefinable Brahman state. This conception would place Caraka among the best of ancient Indian philosophers.
Äyurveda (ą¤ą¤Æą„ą¤°ą„ą¤µą„ą¤¦, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Äyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google books: Genesis and Development of Tantra (Shaktism)Annihilation (in Sanskrit: Jambhana) refers to one of the twelve kinds of Black Magic (²¹²ś³ó¾±³¦Äå°ł²¹) which represents one of the various Supernatural Powers (siddhi) according to the SiddhayogeÅvarÄ«mata: an ancient Sanskrit text devoted to cults of Goddesses as the VidyÄpÄ«į¹ha or VidyÄ Corpus.āIn the SiddhayogeÅvarÄ«mata, the objectives of rituals are classified as siddhis [e.g., twelve kinds of black magic (²¹²ś³ó¾±³¦Äå°ł²¹s) such as annihilation (jambhana)]. They belong to the category of supernatural phenomena and seem to be considerably different from the types of wish people expected to gain from the Vedic rituals that still remained within the sphere of everyday life.
Shakta (ą¤¶ą¤¾ą¤ą„ą¤�, ÅÄkta) or Shaktism (ÅÄktism) 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.
