Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchOmniscience refers to one of the Yogic powers obtained by those having practices for over five years, according to the 艢ivayogad墨pik膩, an ancient Sanskrit text dealing with Yoga possibly corresponding to the 艢ivayoga quoted in 艢iv膩nanda鈥檚 Yogacint膩ma峁噄.鈥擜ccordingly, [while describing a sequence of Ha峁環ayoga practices]: 鈥淭hus, by means of this Ha峁環ayoga which has eight auxiliaries, those [students who are] life-long celibates obtain the Siddhis of the [best of Sages] because of their untiring practice. [...] In the tenth [year], he can move [as fast as] his mind and cheerfully go wherever he wishes. In the eleventh year, he is omniscient (蝉补谤惫补箩帽补) and a yogin who possesses the Siddhis. [...]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).
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): (Advaita Vedanta)(That which is) Omniscient is denoted by the Sanskrit term Sarvaj帽a, according to the M膩峁囜笉奴kyopani峁tk膩rik膩 3.35cd-36.鈥擜ccordingly, while discussing Brahma (without attributes): 鈥淭hat very [mind, free of thought and restrained,] is fearless Brahma, [which is] the light of gnosis [pervading] everywhere. [It is] unborn, devoid of sleep and dreaming, unnamed, formless, manifested [all] at once and omniscient (蝉补谤惫补箩帽补). [This statement] is not figurative in any way鈥�.
Vedanta (啶掂啶︵ぞ啶ㄠ啶�, ved膩nta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
