In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Evaṃbhūta (एवंभूत) refers to “the Yogin who is thus”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] For [the Yogin] who is thus (evaṃbhūta), meritorious and unmeritorious actions are completely destroyed, [and even if these actions] are being performed by [such] a sage, they do not taint [him] at all. That wise person in whom the bliss of the natural [no-mind state] has emerged, who is naturally devoted to constant practice and who has completely freed [himself] of all volition, [certainly] frees [himself] from [all] action. [...]”.
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).
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Evambhūta (एवम्भूत, “specific activity”) refers to one of the seven types of naya (standpoint), according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra 1.33.—To cognize an entity by looking at its attributes as primary and secondary depending on the intentions of the speaker or listener is called naya (standpoint/viewpoint).
What is meant by the specific / actuality viewpoint? To cognize an entity as it is in its present instant mode e.g. to call someone a teacher only when he is teaching, and not at other times.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
