In Hinduism
Shaiva philosophy
Gatatva (गतत्व) refers to the “state of pertaining (to a particular qualification)”, according to Bhaṭṭa Rāmakaṇṭha’s 10th-century Tattvatrayanirṇayavivṛti—a commentary on the 7th-century Tattvatrayanirṇaya by Sadyojyoti which discusses philosophical aspects of Śiva including the theories of Puruṣas (souls), Māyā (primal matter) and Mala (the innate impurity afflicting souls).—The term viśiṣṭa-adhikāri-gatatva refers to the “state of pertaining to particular qualified recipients”—indicating that the qualities or benefits discussed in the tantric scripture are not just general, but are specifically directed toward those individuals who have the proper initiation (dīkṣā) and qualifications (adhikāra). The term gatatva here thus emphasizes the exclusivity and intentional targeting of the work towards a select group, reinforcing the idea that the motivation (prayojana) for the text is to benefit only certain initiated practitioners.
Shaiva philosophy is a spritiual tradition within Hinduism that includes theories such as the relationship between the Atman (individual soul) and Siva, the nature of liberation (moksha), and the concepts of maya (illusion) and shakti (divine energy). Saiva philosophy teaches that union with Shiva can be achieved through knowledge, devotion, and spiritual practice. It encompasses major branches like Shaiva Siddhanta and Kashmir Shaivism.
