In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch(Being) Immovable (even if pushed) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Acālya, according to the Svacchandatantra verse 12.85.—Accordingly, “Having meditated [on the earth element, the Sādhaka] obtains its Siddhi. [Thus,] he can prevent poisonous creatures [from moving] and he [himself] is immovable (acālya) [even if pushed] by everyone; he is just as [solid] as the earth”.
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).
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): (Advaita Vedanta)(That which is) Immovable can be denoted in the Sanskrit language as Acala, according to the Māṇḍūkyopaniṣatkārikā 3.37.—Accordingly, while discussing the no-mind state: “Devoid of all expression and having transcended all thought, Samādhi is very peaceful, its light perpetually [illuminates], [and it is] immovable (acala) and fearless”.
Vedanta (वेदान्त, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
