In Hinduism
Shaiva philosophy
īśvarānumāna (उत्पाद्यz) refers to the “inference of God”, according to the Nyāyamañjarī, vol. I, 326.—Accordingly, “Inference is of two sorts: one [concerns an object] the perception of which has [already] occurred [at some point]; the other [concerns an object] the perception of which has [yet] to occur. But the inference of [entities] such as God (īśvarānumāna—īśvarādyanumānaṃ) [concerns an object] the perception of which has [yet] to occur. [...]”.
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.
