In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: archive.org: Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali with Bhoja VrittiYogapradīpa (योगप्रदीप) is the name of a work dealing with the Yoga system of Philosophy. It deals with—On the practice of Yoga. By Devīsiṃha Deva. Cf. Buhler’s Guzarat Catalogue. IV.
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).
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsYogapradīpa (योगप्रदीप) refers to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses.—Some writers suggest that an alternative title for the Jñānārṇava is Yogapradīpa, “Light on Yoga”. Presumably they are encouraged to do so because the colophons at the end of each chapter almost invariably describe the Jñānārṇava as yogapradīpādhikāra, “which has the aim of illuminating yoga” (see the discussion of the introduction by the editors of the JA[S] 3rd ed. in section 1.1).
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
