Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions

Dūra (दूर) refers to “(having passed) far beyond”, according to the Halāyudhastotra verse 34-35.—Accordingly, “The visitation of the wives of the distinguished sages in the Pine Park, the oblation with seed in Fire, the twilight dance: Your behaviour is not reprehensible. O Three-eyed one! The doctrines of the world do not touch those who have left worldly life, having passed far beyond (dūra—ullaṅghya dūraṃ) the path of those whose minds are afflicted by false knowledge. The gods all wear gold and jewels as an ornament on their body. You do not even wear gold the size of a berry on your ear or on your hand. The one whose natural beauty, surpassing the path [of the world], flashes on his own body, has no regard for the extraneous ornaments of ordinary men”.

context information

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.

Initiates should live in a fine, unpolluted place. The residence should have one, two, or three rooms. Or a four-roomed residence should be built, according to funding. A pleasing hiraṇyanābha or sukṣetra may be built”.

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Dūra (दूर) refers to a “great distance (of the piercing of Śāmbhava)”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “Such is the Śāmbhava piercing, beyond thought, one should know it for oneself. It has been explained through the venerable Process of Absorption. By recollecting the Buddhist and other Siddhas the piercing which is devoid of thought constructs and directly perceptible arises in order (to realise) the reality beyond the senses. The entire knowledge (attained by means of this) piercing is the Speech (that arises) by recollecting the union of the causes. The Śāmbhava piercing takes place in this way both at a great distance (dūra) and nearby”.

context information

Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.

This class is quick to hear a distant call (dūra-āhvāna), to fall on distant prey (dūra-pāta) and capture big’ quarry. The second class will now be treated of. [...]”.

Having obtained pleasure and joy of the dharma, we will work for the benefit of living beings. [...]’”.
