Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra Tantra

Nirupaplava (निरुपप्लव) refers to “(being) untroubled” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 22.10cd-13]—“The leader [Śiva] of these [mantras] is eternal, restraining, untroubled (nirupaplava), unexpanding, without appearance, and causes protection. He does all, he protects the trembling minds [of those who are afraid of saṃsāra]. He leads. From [Śiva's] leading, [the practitioner] shall attain liberation from great fear. Thus, [the mantra] is called “netra”, because [it] protects. [...]”.

Nirupaplavā (निरुपप्लवा) refers to “unwavering (existence in the Self)”, according to the sixth chapter of Rājānaka Ratnākara’s Haravijaya (9th-century), which represents a hymn (stotra) to Śiva.—Accordingly, “Those [Yogins,] whose intense ascetic observance [is performed] for the attainment of union without mind, obtain according to tradition the spotless state which gives an unwavering (nirupaplavā) existence in the Self. [The fact that Yogins obtain this spotless state,] O Śiva, is none other than [the expression of your] favour”.

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).
