In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Mūtrapurīṣa (मूत्रपुरीष) refers to “urine and excrement”.—[...] The Pāśupatasūtra enjoins that the he who observes the Pāśupata vow ‘should not look at urine or excrement [i.e., mūtrapurīṣa]’. Vows such as this came to be totally internalised. More than just integrated into symbolic ritual implements and actions, they came to be seen as most authentically observed by inner yogic practice and thus domesticated. We find a good example in the Śivasūtra, revealed in Kashmir in the middle of the 9th century. There we read that ‘the activity of the body is the vow’. [...]
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)
Mūtrapurīṣa (मूत्रपुरीष) refers to “urine and faeces”, according to to verse 4.14d-15 of the Vasiṣṭhasaṃhitā.—Accordingly, “[The Yogin] will be liberated while alive and pass minimal urine and faeces (mūtrapurīṣa) [alpamūtrapurīṣaḥ syād] after a year. This fifth Dhāraṇā is said to destroy all suffering”.
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).
