In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Ātmārāma (आत्माराम) refers to:—One who takes delight in the true self, and is thus satisfied in all circumstances. (cf. Glossary page from Śrī Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta).
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’).
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Ātmārāma (आत्माराम) refers to “one whose joy is in himself”, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] There is neither joy nor sorrow for one who has transcended samsara. He lives always with a peaceful mind and as if without a body. He whose joy is in himself (ātmārāma), and who is peaceful and pure within [ātmārāmasya dhīrasya śītalācchatarātmanaḥ] has no desire for renunciation or sense of loss in anything. [...]”.
Vedanta (वेदान्त, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Ātmārāma (आत्माराम) refers to “one who delights in his own self”, according to the Pātravidhi—a manual of the Lakulīśa Pāśupata school of Śaivism dealing with purification of the initiate’s vessel (pātra) and other concerned issues.—Accordingly, “A man who delights in his own self (ātmārāma), [who is] free from anger, learned and intent on the brahma [i.e., brahmamantras], whose mind does not attempt on any [worldly] undertaking, he is entitled to eat from the vessel. (60) An attentive man, who is in control of his life-breath, devoted to his teacher, never deceitful, wind[-like], and united in all ways [with god], is entitled to eat from the vessel. (61)”.
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.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Amolakarṣi (1882–1962 A.D.) is the name of an author of Jain texts dealing with meditation.—There are a number of other writers, who produced some work on Jaina meditation, e.g. Amolakarṣi (1877–1936) and Ātmārāma developed meditative practices that influenced Śivamuni’s ātma-dhyāna.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
India history and geography
Ātmārāma (आत्माराम) is another name of Keśavācārya: the son of Caturbhuja and the father of Dhīreśvarācārya (1851-1919 C.E.): a poet of modern Assam who composed Vṛttamañjarī. Dhīreśvarācārya belonged to Tripravara-Bharadvājagotra and was the son of Keśavācārya alias Ātmārāma and Candraprabhādevī, grandson of Caturbhuja and great grandson of Dāmodara. Dhīreśvarācārya learnt the systems of grammar at the age of 12 from Rāmadevopādhyā of Nagarakuchi.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
