In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Wisdom Library: N膩峁瓂a-艣膩stra艢颈惫补尘补苍迟谤补 (啶多た啶掂ぎ啶ㄠ啶む啶�).鈥擝efore any dramatic performance (苍腻峁瓂补) takes place, gods and demigods should be worshipped (辫奴箩腻) in ceremonies such as the 鈥榗onsecration of the 尘补迟迟补惫腻谤补峁嚹�鈥�. According to the N膩峁瓂a艣膩stra 3.40-44 gods and demigods should be worshipped with offerings (e.g. different kinds of foodstuff ) and mantras.
The mantra for 艢iva, to be uttered at the time of making offering, goes as follows:
啶︵啶掂う啷囙さ 啶す啶距き啶距 啶椸ぃ啷囙ざ 啶む啶班た啶啶班ぞ啶ㄠ啶む 啷�
啶啶班啷冟す啷嵿く啶むぞ啶� 啶げ啶苦ぐ啷嵿う啷囙さ 啶え啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ啶啶む 啶く啷嬥う啷嵿く啶む 啷�devadeva mah膩bh膩ga ga峁噀艣a tripur膩ntaka |
prag峁沨yat膩峁� balirdeva mantrap奴to mayodyata岣� ||鈥淥 the god of gods, the great god, the lord of 驳补峁嘺蝉 and the killer of Tripura, accept this my offering consecrated by the Mantra.鈥�
According to N膩峁瓂a艣膩stra 3.96-97, 鈥淥ffering worship to the gods of the stage is as meritorious as a [Vedic] sacrifice. No dramatic performance should be made without first worshipping the deities presiding over the stage. When worshipped, they (these gods) will bring you worship, and honoured they will bring you honour. Hence one should by all efforts offer 辫奴箩腻 to the gods of the stage.鈥�
Natyashastra (啶ㄠぞ啶熰啶ざ啶距じ啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ, 苍腻峁瓂补艣膩stra) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya鈥攖heatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: Brill: 艢aivism and the Tantric Traditions艢颈惫补尘补苍迟谤补 (啶多た啶掂ぎ啶ㄠ啶む啶�) refers to 鈥溑歛iva mantras鈥�, according to the Svacchandatantra verse 4.79b-81b.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淭he S膩dhaka is of two kinds. On the one hand, there is the 艣颈惫补诲丑补谤尘墨, for whom the cosmic path is purified by 艢aiva mantras (艣颈惫补尘补苍迟谤补-惫颈艣耻诲诲丑补-补诲丑惫补苍) and who is yoked to [particular] mantras that are to be mastered; he is knowledgeable, consecrated [to office], and devoted to the propitiation of mantras. This 艢aiva S膩dhaka is capable [of mastering] the threefold supernatural powers. The second [kind of S膩dhaka] adheres to the mundane path and is devoted to the performance of good and meritorious works; desiring the fruits produced by [his] karma, he abides solely [devoted to] meritorious [karma], free of the unmeritorious. [The Guru] should always perform the destruction of the unmeritorious portion [of the candidate鈥檚 karma] with mantras鈥�.
Shaiva (啶多啶�, 艣aiva) or Shaivism (艣aivism) 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 Birch艢颈惫补尘补苍迟谤补 (啶多た啶掂ぎ啶ㄠ啶む啶�) refers to a 鈥溑歛iva mantra鈥�, according to the Yogay膩j帽valkya 6.12, 16-6.19ab.鈥擜ccordingly, while discussing that yoga was practised by all four castes and women: 鈥淸...] [For [all those] Vai艣yas, women, 艢奴dras and ascetics who perform their religious duties, a mantra without 辞峁� [is prescribed] in Pr膩峁嚹亂膩ma, O G膩rgi. [For in their case,] the wise recommend either a 艢aiva [i.e., 艣颈惫补尘补苍迟谤补] or Vai峁ａ箛ava mantra ending in 苍补尘补岣�. Otherwise, a 艢奴dra as well as a woman should practise with a non-Vedic [mantra] prescribed earlier, and they should repeat [it] forty times in Pr膩峁嚹亂膩ma. 艢奴dras should not repeat a Vedic mantra and women should never [do so]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).
