Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (鈥榯en avatars of Vishnu鈥�).
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

According to tantric sources such as the 艢r墨matottara-tantra and the Gorak峁sa峁僪it腻 (K腻diprakara峁嘺), these twelve 驳耻峁嘺蝉 are represented as female deities. According to the 峁峁璼腻hasrasa峁僪it腻 however, they are explained as particular syllables. They (e.g. 狈颈谤补帽箩补苍腻) only seem to play an minor role with regard to the interpretation of the Dev墨cakra (first of five chakras, as taught in the 碍耻产箩颈办腻尘补迟补-迟补苍迟谤补).

(He), the god Hari, born from a lotus womb, is the imperishable cause (of all things). [...]鈥�.

Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch狈颈谤补帽箩补苍补 (啶ㄠた啶班啷嵿啶�) refers to 鈥渢hat which has no stain鈥�, and is used to describe S补尘腻dhi and Paratattva (highest reality), according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise which deals absorption, yogic powers and liberation.鈥擳he Amanaska referred to (or qualified) S补尘腻dhi with several terms, which are all negative; [e.g., it has no stain (苍颈谤补帽箩补苍补);] [...] The fact that such terminology is found in the Amanaska indicates that descriptions of 艢iva and the void-like meditative states in Mantramargic 艢aivism, were the basis of the descriptions of S补尘腻dhi and Paratattva (the highest reality) in this treatise. The Amanaska Yoga was consistent with the P腻ta帽jala Yoga艣腻stra鈥檚 definition of Yoga, yet it described S补尘腻dhi in terms different to those of P腻ta帽jalayoga; such as 狈颈谤补帽箩补苍补鈥斺�渢hat which has no stain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 腻sanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).

It is unimaginable (nirvikalpa), effortless (苍颈谤腻测腻蝉补), unchanging (苍颈谤惫颈办腻谤补) and spotless (苍颈谤补帽箩补苍补). By the simple elimination of delusion and the recognition of one's true nature, those whose vision is unclouded live free from sorrow. [...]鈥�.
Vedanta (啶掂啶︵ぞ啶ㄠ啶�, ved腻nta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads.

The 办补濒补艣补p奴j腻 also includes the 苍颈谤腻帽箩补苍补, which figuratively means 鈥渞emoving darkness鈥� and involves burning fragrant scents in a clay pot and reciting mantras to purify the worshiper.

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections狈颈谤补帽箩补苍补 (啶ㄠた啶班啷嵿啶�) refers to 鈥減ure鈥� and is used to describe the Self (膧tman), according to the 11th century J帽腻苍腻r峁嘺va, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by 艢ubhacandra.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淭his self itself is clearly a great ocean of excellent virtues. It is all-knowing, all-pervading, having all forms, supreme [and] pure (苍颈谤补帽箩补苍补)鈥�.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
India history and geography
Source: Wisdom Library: Teachers, Saints and Sages狈颈谤补帽箩补苍补 (啶ㄠた啶班啷嵿啶�) or 狈颈谤补帽箩补苍补苍腻tha refers to one of the eighty-four Siddhas (Siddh腻c腻ryas) mentioned in various sources as being representative teachers of Sahajiya Tantrism, Alchemy, Nath Sampradaya and other traditions having influence in the Indian subcontinent and the Himalayas.鈥擬any of these Mah腻siddhas [e.g., 狈颈谤补帽箩补苍补-苍腻tha] were historical figures whose lives and mystical powers were the subject of legends. They are often associated with teachings belonging to Hinduism, Buddhism, Ajivikism and Jainism and are evident of a caste-less interreligious spiritual society.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
