In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraTanmayatā (तन्मयता) refers to “being made up of something [someone]”, according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 13.1-9, while describing the appearance and worship of Viṣṇu]—“Or, [the Mantrin] worships a very handsome, eight-armed, yellow Deva. [...] With whatever his nature, one should recall him with any state of being. It is said Bhairava is made up of him (tanmayatā—tasya tanmayatāmeti). Pārameśvarī is called order. [This then is the abode of Mṛtyujit]. [...]”.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchTanmayatā (तन्मयता) refers to “(the attainment of) identification” (with a particular element), according to verse 13.7cd-8 of the Mālinīvijayottaratantra.—Accordingly, “If one attains identification (tanmayatā) [with the water element, then], within six months steadiness is achieved. Within three years one attains gnostic vision of the water-realm. In the motionless division [of the Sakala contemplation] also, one is conjoined to the reality level of water [and becomes] in all respects similar to 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).
