In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramʲñԲ (परिज्ञान) refers to the “knowing�, according to the Ṭīkā (commentary) on the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “[...] Thus, by knowing the five (elemental) principles [i.e., 貹ñٲٳٱ-貹ñԲ] completely by means of the five-fold Self, (all) thirty-six principles are attained. Similarly, by knowing the Śiva principle, that is, the principle of Supreme Śiva by means of the Śambhu's Self, which is the sixth, one becomes of his nature. Thus the pervasion of the sixfold Self has been explained�.

Shakta (शाक्�, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) 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.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsʲñԲ (परिज्ञान) refers to “perceiving (that which has Śiva-nature)�, according to Tantrālokaviveka commentary on the Tantrāloka verses 4.228ab.—Accordingly, “[‘As regards the Yogin, moreover, that purity exists with respect to (all) entities’].—Indeed, the majority of bound souls do not perceive (貹ñԲ) even (Śaiva) mantras as having Śiva-nature, and therefore they suppose them to be impure, since they fail (even) to perform their own duties (in employing these mantras). But, as for the Yogin, he perceives (everything,) beginning with the earth, as having that [Śiva-nature]. Therefore, (he perceives that) all of them without exception are completely pure. Indeed, this alone is the very nature of the Yogin as a Yogin, that he perceives this entire universe as possessed of Śiva-nature. This is definitive�.

Shaiva (शै�, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) 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.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchʲñԲ (परिज्ञान) refers to the “knowledge (of Mudrās)�, according to the Śivayogadīpikā by Sadāśivayogīśvara: a text dealing with Śaivism and Haṭhayoga in two hundred and eighty-nine verses.—Accordingly, “Knowledge of the twenty-five Tattvas is that [Rājayoga] which is called Sāṅkhya. The [Rāja]yoga called Tāraka is [so called] because [it consists in] knowledge of external Mudrā (mudrā-貹ñԲ), and Amanaska is [so called] because [it consists in] knowledge of internal Mudrā. Tāraka is more laudable than Sāṅkhya and Amanaska is more laudable than Tāraka. Because it is the king of all Yogas, it is called Rājayoga�.

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).
Vedanta (school of philosophy)

Is he not a Guru who, endowed with dispassion and equanimity, achieves full knowledge of the nature (mūrti-貹ñԲ) of consciousness [kṛtvā mūrti貹ñԲ� caitanyasya na ki� guru�], and leads others out of ṃs? [...]�.

Vedanta (वेदान्�, vedānta) 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).

What are those one hundred twenty-four? [...] (29) no agitation is included in going and reaching to the utmost limit; (30) no objection is included in truth and delight in the dharma; (31) renounce is included in knowing the cause (hetu-貹ñԲ) and getting rid of false views; (32) eliminating the concept of mine is included in the absence of what belongs to the ego and property; [...]’�.
