In Hinduism
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
: Wikibooks (hi): Sanskrit Technical Terms±«³Ù°ì°ù²¹³¾²¹á¹‡a (उतà¥à¤•à¥à¤°à¤®à¤£).â€�(also known as utkramajyÄ) R versed sine. Note: ±«³Ù°ì°ù²¹³¾²¹á¹‡a is a Sanskrit technical term used in ancient Indian sciences such as Astronomy, Mathematics and Geometry.

Jyotisha (जà¥à¤¯à¥‹à¤¤à¤¿à¤�, Âá²â´Ç³Ù¾±á¹£a or jyotish) refers to ‘astronomyâ€� or “Vedic astrologyâ€� and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas). Jyotisha concerns itself with the study and prediction of the movements of celestial bodies, in order to calculate the auspicious time for rituals and ceremonies.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: academia.edu: Chapter Nineteen of the Kaká¹£apuá¹atantraUtkramana (उतà¥à¤•à¥à¤°à¤®à¤¨) or UtkrÄnti refers to the “yoga of dyingâ€� according to Tantric texts such as the KubjikÄmatatantra and Saṃvarodayatantra.—When a practitioner realizes that his death is approaching through signs of death, the second option that he can take is to prepare for death. ±«³Ù°ì°ù²¹³¾²¹á¹‡a or UtkrÄnti is well known in Tantric texts as the yoga for preparing for death. In this yoga, a practitioner pulls his ±è°ùÄåṇa out of his body and attains ³¾´Ç°ìá¹£a or liberation. The practitioner shuts all holes in his body, i.e. anus, genitals, navel, mouth, nose, ears and eyes; then he pulls out his ±è°ùÄåṇa through brahmarandhra, i.e. the aperture in the crown of the head. This yogic practice presumes a link between the next world, where the person will be reborn, and a hole through which oneʼs ±è°ùÄåṇa gets away from oneʼs body.
The KubjikÄmatatantra 23.112-119 explains the yoga of dying in detail, mentioning an Äsana or sitting posture called Kukkuá¹Äsana (sometimes suggested as ³Ü³Ù°ì²¹³ÙÄå²õ²¹²Ô²¹), which is effective for shutting all holes in the body. The Saṃvarodayatantra 19.27-39 also explains the procedure of the yoga of dying and the relationship between the next world where a person will be reborn and the hole through which oneʼs ±è°ùÄåṇa gets away from the body.

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.
