In Hinduism
Shaiva philosophy
Pratīti (प्रतीति) refers to “cognition” according to the Utpaladeva’s Vivṛti on Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā 1.5.8-9.—Accordingly, “For inference is a concept, and this [concept] arises thanks to the residual trace [left by] a previous experience; so to begin with, [it] depends on the fact that the object was directly perceived [at some point] in the past, and inference is a conceptual cognition (vikalpa-pratīti) that arises as an unfailing [means of knowledge] with respect to this [previously perceived] object. [...]”.
Shaiva philosophy is a spritiual tradition within Hinduism that includes theories such as the relationship between the Atman (individual soul) and Siva, the nature of liberation (moksha), and the concepts of maya (illusion) and shakti (divine energy). Saiva philosophy teaches that union with Shiva can be achieved through knowledge, devotion, and spiritual practice. It encompasses major branches like Shaiva Siddhanta and Kashmir Shaivism.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Pratīti (प्रतीति) refers to “understanding (of oneself)”, according to the Yogabīja (138).—Accordingly, “If the mind has disappeared when the breath [is flowing], then, the disappearance of the breath is certain as well. If this does not happen, the [Yogin] has no [knowledge of] scripture, no understanding of himself (ātma-pratīti), no guru and no liberation”.
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).
