In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchWise Men are denoted by the Sanskrit term Man墨峁n, according to the 艢ivayogad墨pik膩 by Sad膩艣ivayog墨艣vara: a text dealing with 艢aivism and Ha峁環ayoga in two hundred and eighty-nine verses.鈥擜ccordingly, while discussing the difference between R膩jayoga and 艢aivayoga: 鈥淭ruly, 艢iva鈥檚 yoga is not identical to R膩jayoga. [This] is so said by worshippers of 艢iva [and] it is apparent to the [higher faculty of] discernment. The difference between the two is taught to those devoted to 艢iva. Therefore, the yoga of 艢iva is understood only by [those] wise men (尘补苍墨峁苍) . [...]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).
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): (shaktism)Wise Men are denoted by the Sanskrit term Dh墨mat, according to the 17th century Kaulagajamardana (鈥渃rushing the Kaula elephant鈥�) authored by K膩艣墨n膩tha or K峁涐梗峁嚹乶and膩cala.鈥擜ccordingly, [as 莫艣vara said to P膩rvat墨]: 鈥淟isten, O P膩rvat墨, I shall give a critique of the P膩峁峁囜笉as. Knowing this, a wise man (诲丑墨尘补迟) [manujo dh墨m膩n] is not defeated by them. Those devoted to fake observances; those who rebuke the religion of the Vedas; those who have fallen from caste and religious duties; those who have erred and think themselves learned, they are [all] called P膩峁峁囜笉as [because] they act contrary to [true] religion. They fall into a terrifying hell until the end of the world. [...]鈥�
Shakta (啶多ぞ啶曕啶�, 艣膩kta) or Shaktism (艣膩ktism) 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.
