In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: VajrayanaLak峁墨峁卥ar膩 is the name of a 尘补丑腻蝉颈诲诲丑补, of which eighty-four in total are recognized in Vajray膩na (tantric buddhism). His title is 鈥渢he crazy princess鈥�. He lived somewhere between the 8th and the 12th century AD.
These 尘补丑腻蝉颈诲诲丑补s (e.g., Lak峁墨峁卥ar膩) are defined according to the Abhayadatta Sri (possibly 础产丑补测腻办补谤补驳耻辫迟补) tradition. Its textual origin traces to the 11th century 肠补迟耻谤腻蝉颈迟颈-蝉颈诲诲丑补-辫谤补惫峁泃迟颈, or 鈥渢he lives of the eighty-four siddhas鈥�, of which only Tibetan translations remains. Lak峁墨峁卥ar膩 (and other Mah膩siddhas) are the ancient propounders of the textual tradition of tantric or Vajrayana Buddhism.

General definition (in Buddhism)
: McGill University: He dances, she shakes: The possessed mood of nonduality in Buddhist tantric sex鈥淎n eighth century poem is preserved in the consort practice section of this sadhana, attributed to the Indian mahasiddha (great accomplished one) Lakshminkara. My study examines this poem in terms of Indian aesthetic theory, rasa theory (lit. taste theory). I argue that antinomian siddha poets, such as Lakshminkara, both employed and transcended the poetic method of rasa theory, initially creating an erotic mood (shrngara rasa) in their poems, but ultimately transcending this rasa, to create a specific nondual Buddhist mood, samarasa (lit. one taste), a state of nondualism which is the goal of tantric Buddhism.鈥�

They are often associated with teachings belonging to Hinduism, Buddhism, Ajivikism and Jainism such as the Nath Tradition.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
