In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: Pure Bhakti: Jaiva-dharmaĀjalpa (आजल्प) refers to “exposing Kṛṣṇa’s duplicity and persecution due to self-disparagement” and represents one of the ten kinds of Citrajalpa or “discourses that occur when one meets a friend of one’s beloved”, according to a discussion between Vijaya Kumāra and Śrī Gopāla Guru Gosvāmī.—There are ten limbs of citrajalpa, [e.g., ājalpa]. They are full of intense longing, and they arise from bhāvas such as jealousy, envy, restlessness, pride, and eagerness. Ājalpa means to expose Kṛṣṇa’s duplicity and persecution due to self-disparagement, and to say that only subjects other than Kṛṣṇa’s līlā-kathā give happiness.
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
