In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraDīkṣāvidhi (दीक्षाविधि) refers to the “ritual of dīkṣā” [?], according to the Netratantroddyota commentary on the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 4.10]—“[To bring the matter to a close,] Thus, dīkṣā has been explained in brief, the full explanation is elsewhere. [The text says,] briefly and elsewhere because this ritual of Dīkṣā (dīkṣāvidhi) is extremely long and because it has been merely touched upon [here] in an extremely abridged form. [...]”.
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.
