In Hinduism

Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)

Source: Pure Bhakti: Bhagavad-gita (4th edition)

Samprajñātasamādhi (सम्प्रज्ञातसमाधि) refers to “Samādhi in which one is conscious of the difference between knowledge, the object of knowledge and the knower”. (cf. Glossary page from Śrīmad-Bhagavad-Gītā).

context information

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’).

Yoga (school of philosophy)

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

Saṃprajñātasamādhi (संप्रज्ञातसमाधि) refers to “Samādhi with an object of focus”.—In later yoga compendiums which integrated medieval yoga traditions with Pātañjalayoga, laya was equated with saṃprajñātasamādhi (i.e., Samādhi with an object of focus). For example, Śivānanda’s Yogacintāmaṇi states: “Rājayoga is, indeed, seedless Samādhi and Layayoga is Samprajñāta [Samādhi]”.

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