In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: Pure Bhakti: Brhad BhagavatamrtamGopayoṣit (गोपयोषित्) or Gopayoṣidgaṇa refers to “cowherd girls” according to the Śrī Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta 2.5 (“Prema: Love of God”).—Accordingly, “[...] All glories to His pastimes in the rainy season, like His resting at the feet of trees, and to His autumnal pastimes—enhanced by the beauty of the forests— which heaped the pain of Cupid’s torment on the women of Vraja. When will I see with my own eyes the way He dresses in forest attire, steals everyone’s heart with the downpour of sweetness from the music of His flute, and enchants all the cowherd girls [i.e., gopayoṣit-gaṇa-mohana]? [...]”.
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’).
