In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Anuyoga (अनुयोग):—[anuyogaḥ] Enquire something relating to a scripture or a part, a question or a part with a view to testing the knowledge, power of comprehension and expression and capacity to reply to the later
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
Anuyoga (अनुयोग) refers to the “exposition of principles”.—Importance to the culture of gaṇita (mathematics) is also given by the Jainas. Their religious literature is generally classified into four branches, called anuyoga (“exposition of principles”). One of them is gaṇitānuyoga (“the exposition of the principles of mathematics”). The knowledge of saṃkhyāna (literally, “the science of numbers”, meaning arithmetic and astronomy) is stated to be one of the principal accomplishments of the Jaina priest. In Buddhist literature too, arithmetic (gaṇanā, saṃkhyāna) is regarded as the first and the noblest of the arts. All these will give a fair idea of the importance and value set upon the culture of gaṇita in ancient India.
Ganita (गणित) or Ganitashastra refers to the ancient Indian science of mathematics, algebra, number theory, arithmetic, etc. Closely allied with astronomy, both were commonly taught and studied in universities, even since the 1st millennium BCE. Ganita-shastra also includes ritualistic math-books such as the Shulba-sutras.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Anuyoga (अनुयोग) refers to one of the “Nine Vehicles” (In Nyingma) which in Tibetan are known as theg pa dgu.
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
