In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: ISKCON Press: GlossaryPrāptisiddhi (प्राप्तिसिद्धि).—Mystic perfection of acquisition by which the yogī can reach his hand anywhere and obtain whatever he likes.
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchPrāptisiddhi (प्राप्तिसिद्धि) refers to the “Siddhi called Prāpti”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] [The Yogin] who has become absorbed in [that which has] no characteristics (i.e., the absolute) for twenty-two days, has the Siddhi [called] Prāpti (prāptisiddhi), which enables him to reach [whatever] is in the world. [...]”.
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).
