In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraHṛtpraveśa (हृत्प्रवेश) refers to “enter into one’s heart”, 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 4.5cd-6, while describing the purification process of the initiand]—“[...] [After that,] the place (sthāna) is established. [The Mantrin] fuses the consciousness of his disciple with the mantra. Then, together with the disciple’s consciousness, [the Mantrin] causes [that consciousness] to enter into his own heart (sva-hṛtpraveśa), raises it to dvādaśānta, then projects it [back] into the heart of the Śiṣya. Tatsthitam is to be analyzed as that standing (sthāna) [i.e., the Śiṣya’s consciousness brought to rest in the Śiṣya’s heart]”.
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.
