In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationĀveśana (आवेशन) is the name of a Gaṇa-chief who participated in Vīrabhadra’s campaign against Dakṣa, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.33. Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“O Nārada, listen to the numerical strength of the most important and courageous of those groups. [...] Āveśana went with eight crores and Candratāpana too with eight crores. Mahāveśa, the chief of Gaṇas, was accompanied by a thousand crores. [...] Thus at the bidding of Śiva, the heroic Vīrabhadra went ahead followed by crores and crores, thousands and thousands, hundreds and hundreds of Gaṇas [viz., Āveśana]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsĀveśana (आवेशन) refers to “(complete) entering”, according to the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvimarśinī III.2.12.—Accordingly, “This twofold state of one who is liberated while living is called samāveśa in the scriptures. For complete entering (samyañc-āveśana) is itself primary in each of these; other teachings are [only] for its attainment”.
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.
