In Hinduism
Shaivism
Āplāvita (आप्लावित) refers to “(being) flooded” (with amṛta), according to the Svacchanda-tantra.—Accordingly, [verse 7.223-224]—“He should visualize a white, very dense, unctuous amṛta, which destroys death and himself [when he is] flooded (āplāvita—tenāplāvitam ātmānaṃ) and filled with it He should visualize his entire body flooded with nectar entering through the openings and apertures of his channels, which are set in the stem of the lotus”.
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.
