Yoga (school of philosophy)

: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch

Subjugation (of the world) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Va艣ya, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.鈥擜ccordingly, as 莫艣vara says to V膩madeva: 鈥淸...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] [The yogin] whose absorption in the steady self remains for twenty-eight days, obtains the Siddhi of control, by which he subjugates the world (惫补艣测补-办峁泃) [惫补艣测补办峁沯箩补驳补迟]. [...]鈥�.

context information

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)

: Google books: Genesis and Development of Tantra (Shaktism)

Subjugating people (to one鈥檚 will) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Va艣y膩 and represents one of the various Supernatural Powers (siddhi) according to the Siddhayoge艣var墨mata: an ancient Sanskrit text devoted to cults of Goddesses as the Vidy膩p墨峁環a or Vidy膩 Corpus.鈥擨n the Siddhayoge艣var墨mata, the objectives of rituals are classified as siddhis [e.g., subjugating people to one鈥檚 will (惫补艣测腻)]. They belong to the category of supernatural phenomena and seem to be considerably different from the types of wish people expected to gain from the Vedic rituals that still remained within the sphere of everyday life.

context information

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.
