Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Wisdom Library: ŚaivismBāṇeśvara (बाणेश्वर) is the name of a Liṅga (symbolical manifestation of Śiva) that is associated with the Bāṇagaṅgā-tīrtha (a sacred bathing place). It represents the fifty-sixth of the sixty-four siddhaliṅgas mentioned in the Nepalese Tyasaphu (a folding book or leporello). At each of these spots Śiva is manifest as a Liṅga. Each of these liṅgas (e.g., Bāṇa-īśvara) has its own specific name, mantra, set of rituals and observances, auspicious time etc.
The auspiscious time for bathing near the Bāṇeśvara-liṅga at the Bāṇagaṅgā-tīrtha is mentioned as “caitra-śukla-caturdaśī” (latin: caitra-shukla-caturdashi). This basically represents the recommended day for bathing there (snānadina).
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.

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.
