Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram³Û´Ç²µÄ«²Ô»å°ù²¹ (योगीनà¥à¤¦à¥à¤�) refers to the “lord of yogaâ€�, according to the second recension of the Yogakhaṇá¸a of the ManthÄnabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess KubjikÄ.—Accordingly, as the Goddess said to Bhairava: “By virtue of (your intense) desire to achieve (this) in (our) friendship, I have given (you) the accomplishment of the Command. O lord of the gods, your (Command now) shines radiantly; (this is) the truth. (It is indeed) the truth, it is not otherwise. Endowed with the triply pure Command, abandon (all) thought born of MÄyÄ. O Kujīśa, I have made you into the Lord of Yoga [i.e., ²â´Ç²µÄ«²Ô»å°ù²¹], one who has attained the Commandâ€�.

Shakta (शाकà¥à¤�, Å›Äkta) or Shaktism (Å›Äktism) 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.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation³Û´Ç²µÄ«²Ô»å°ù²¹ (योगीनà¥à¤¦à¥à¤�) refers to the “lord of Yoginsâ€� and is used to describe Åšiva, according to the ÅšivapurÄṇa 2.3.33 (“The appeasement of Himavatâ€�).—Accordingly, the Seven Sages said to Himavat (HimÄcala): “[...] Åšiva, the foremost of Yogins was not eager to marry. But since requested by BrahmÄ, the lord agreed to take your daughter. PÄrvatÄ« performed a penance and the lord promised her. Thus for these two reasons the lord of Yogins (²â´Ç²µÄ«²Ô»å°ù²¹) wishes to marry herâ€�.

The Purana (पà¥à¤°à¤¾à¤�, purÄṇas) 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 Birch³Û´Ç²µÄ«²Ô»å°ù²¹ (योगीनà¥à¤¦à¥à¤�) refers to the “master of Yogaâ€�, according to the DattÄtreyayogaÅ›Ästra verse 101.4 and Yogatattvopaniá¹£at 1.76-78.—Accordingly, while discussing the concerns about the use of Siddhis: “These [Siddhis] are obstacles to the great Siddhi (i.e., liberation). The wise [Yogin] does not delight in them. He should never reveal his own power to anyone, except sometimes he may do so to a devotee out of kindness. The Yogin should behave among people as though dumb, simple or deaf, in order to keep his powers hidden. If not, then there will surely be many students [who will] undoubtedly ask the master of Yoga (²â´Ç²µÄ«²Ô»å°ù²¹) [to intervene] in their own affairs. [Because of this,] he will become preoccupied with carrying out their actions and forgetful of his own [Yoga] practiceâ€�.

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 Äsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
