In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Audāsīnya (औदासीन्य) refers to “indifference”, consisting of four stages, according to Abhinava’s Tantrāloka chapter 10.—Accordingly, “In the fourth state … knowable entities appear as awareness on the verge of reaching plentitude because [the] indifference (audāsīnya) [that characterized the third state of deep sleep] is abating [...]”.
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)
Audāsīnya (औदासीन्य) refers to “indifference”, according to the Siddhāntamuktāvalī, an 18th-century text on Haṭhayoga consisting of 1553 verses.—The Siddhāntamuktāvalī significantly extends the original Haṭhapradīpikā by adding sections on the purification of the channels (nāḍīśuddhi), meditation (dhyāna), cheating death (kālavañcana) and indifference (audāsīnya).
Audāsīnya (औदासीन्य) refers to the “austere practice of detachment”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise which deals absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Though the Amanaska contains some archaic features such as descriptions of a stonelike Samādhi and the rather austere practice of detachment (audāsīnya), it would be a mistake to think that the Amanaska was written for the ‘bed-of-nails’ ascetic or even those Yogins who performed asceticism (tapas) as it was defined by the Pātañjalayogaśāstra.

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).
