In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationԾś (अनिश) refers to “always (keeping one’s partner in the heart)�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.50 (“Description of fun and frolic�).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Then the sixteen celestial ladies arrived there and saw the couple [i.e., Śiva and Pārvatī] with great respect. [...] The celestial ladies made these sweet witty remarks to Him one by one. [...] Śacī said:—‘Why should you be shy of your beloved for whom you lamented and roamed here and there always (Ծś) keeping her in your heart?’�.

The Purana (पुरा�, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchԾś (अनिश) refers to “continually� (serving the one and only Guru), according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] What is to be gained by [manipulating] the vital winds, [even when] practised for a long time? [What gained] by the hundreds of [ways] of holding the breath, which cause sickness and are arduous, and by the many Mudrās, which are painful and difficult to master? You [should] serve continually (Ծś) the one and only Guru to obtain that [no-mind state] whose nature is innate, on the arising of which, the breath, mighty [though it is], instantly disappears by itself. [...]�.

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).

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being.
