In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚivayogin (शिवयोगिन्) refers to one who practices Śaivite Yoga, as defined in the Śivapurāṇa 1.17. Accordingly, “[...] As for those who are devoted to activities and those who both refrain from and indulge in activities, the gross Praṇava is recommended. [...] Śivayogins are of three types being devoted to rites, austerities and Japas. [...] A pure man shall obtain liberation only step by step, beginning with Sālokya as a result of being purified by the worship of Śivayogins with sixteen services and homage”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchŚivayogin (शिवयोगिन्) refers to “Śaiva Yogins”, according to verse 10.16 of Sureśvarācārya’s Mānasollāsa.—Accordingly, “All the worlds along with even their kings are under the [Yogin’s] own control. This power is called Vaśitva [which] is easily obtained by Śaiva Yogins (śivayogin)”.
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).

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
