Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Google books: Genesis and Development of TantraWell-being is denoted by the Sanskrit term Bhūti, and represents one of the various objectives expected of the Vedic rituals (following the basic pattern of the new and full-moon sacrifice) known as the Kāmyeṣṭis.—to the analysis of W. Caland, the objectives expected of the kāmyeṣṭis are: [e.g., well-being (bhūti)] [...], etc. (Cf. Caland 1908: VI–VII). Although Vedic rituals were a reliable way for the people of ancient India to fulfill their objectives, Tantric rites too claim to bring about the attainment of wishes.
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.
