In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramMuktipradā (मुक्तिप्रदा) refers to “that which gives liberation”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra.—Accordingly, “(The goddess) is the emanation (sṛṣti) of all the elements (bhūta). She creates the universe. [...] By rotating clockwise (sūryāvarta) she is the Full (Moon) and, (rotating) anticlockwise (vāmāvartā), the New Moon. Transcending (both) Sun and Moon, she is called Śāmbhavī (Śiva's power). That power (when) Full (pūrṇā) bestows worldly enjoyment; (as the) New Moon, accomplishment and liberation. And, (that power) which give worldly enjoyment and liberation [i.e., muktipradā—bhuktimuktipradā], established in the non-sequential (akrama) (transcendent), withdraws (all things)”
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchMuktiprada (मुक्तिप्रद) refers to “one who bestows liberation”, according to the Gorakṣasiddhāntasaṅgraha, a text dealing with Yoga quoting from approximately seventy-two sources including the Amanaska Yoga treatise.—Accordingly, [while describing the true Guru]: “Therefore, since [the attributes of a guru] are beyond [mundane] attributes, only one who is beyond religious observance has the qualities of a guru [who] bestows liberation (muktiprada-gurutva), and no other [person] whatsoever [can have them]. [This] is frequently explained in scripture [...]”.
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).
