In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchṛtپԾǻ (वृत्तिनिरो�) refers to the “cessation of the activity (of one’s mind)�, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] By means of an absorption for a day and night, the Yogin who is steady in his seated posture knows smells from afar, because of the cessation of the activity of his mind (ٳٲ-ṛtپԾǻ). [...]�.

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).
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
: Vallabh: Nirodha-lakshanaṛtپԾǻ (वृत्तिनिरो�) refers to “restraining (mental) modifications�, according to the Nirodhalakṣaṇa (lit. “characteristics of restraint�) written by Śrī Vallabhācārya for his disciples.� Nirodha refers to “forgetting the material world entirely (and becoming exclusively attached to the Lord/Bhagavān)�. The concept of nirodha in the Puṣṭimārga tradition transcends the yogic definition of ٳٲ-ṛtپԾǻ (restraining mental modifications). Instead, it represents the total surrender of body (deha), senses (indriya), life-force (ṇa), mind (manas), intellect (buddhi), ego (ṅk), and all possessions toward Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s service. It is characterized by profound experiences of union (ṃyDz) and separation (viyoga/viprayoga).

Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu�).
