In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSādhusaṅgama (साधुसङ्गम) refers to “association with men of saintly character”, and is considered a great asset (dhana) for Brahmins, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.1.17. Accordingly, as Guṇanidhi, who was addicted to gambling (dyūta), was told by his mother as follows:—“[...] dear child [viz., Guṇanidhi], a good learning (sadvidyā) and association with men of saintly character (sādhusaṅgama) constitute a great asset (dhana) for Brahmins. How is it that you do not gladly take interest in such things? Your ancestors and grandfathers (pitāmaha) had all earned the reputation (rūḍhi) of being good Vedic scholars (Sacchrotriya), well learned in Śāstras (Anūcāna), and performers of sacrifices (Dīkṣita), especially Somayāgas”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) 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)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSādhusaṅgama (साधुसङ्गम) refers to “associating with the wise”, according to the Haṭhapradīpikā of Svātmārāma: an influential 15th-century Sanskrit manual on Hatha-Yoga dealing with techniques to channel one’s vital energy.—Accordingly, while discussing methods for conquering the mind: “Acquiring spiritual knowledge, associating with the wise (sādhusaṅgama), abandoning habitual tendencies and stopping the movement of the breath; according to tradition, [all] these methods are effective in conquering the mind. The [mind] is quickly overcome by these [methods of restraint] like the dust of the earth by streams [of water]”.
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).
