In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsYogasiddhi (योगसिद्धि) refers to “accomplishment in yoga”.—The moon also forms an important element of Pāśupata yogic practices. As we learn from the Skandapurāṇa (179.28ff.), as pointed out by Bakker (2015, 141), their “accomplishment in yoga” (yogasiddhi) comes about through a process of withdrawing the senses until the practitioner can see a lunar disc in his heart. From the moonlight within his body, yogic powers, omniscience and the like arise. These powers include being immune to disease and possessing a divine body.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: MDPI Books: The Ocean of HeroesYogasiddhi (योगसिद्धि) refers to the “yogic accomplishment”, according to the 10th-century Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Accordingly: “[...] Adorned with mantras and seals, a great yoga practitioner should make bali offering. The great accomplishment is [attained] through the recitation [of mantras] ten million times, also a hundred thousand times and below. If he makes offering of various pledge [articles] according to rule, afterwards, yogic accomplishment (yogasiddhi) can be attained, [and] he can wander for pleasure anywhere. [...]”.
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.

Sanskrit dictionary
Source: DDSA: The practical Sanskrit-English dictionaryYogasiddhi (योगसिद्धि).—f. achievement in succession i. e. by separate performance; पर्यायो योगसिद्धिः (paryāyo yogasiddhiḥ) ŚB. on MS. °न्यायः (nyāyaḥ) the rule according to which when an act (e. g. darśapūrṇamāsa) is said to yield all desired objects, what is meant is that it can yield them only one at a time and not all simultaneously. This is established by जैमिनि (jaimini) and शबर (śabara) in MS.4.3.27-28. Thus for the achievement of each separate काम (kāma), a separate performance of the याग (yāga) is necessary; (see darśapūrṇamāsanyāya).
