In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraKṣīraghṛta (क्षीरघृत) refers to “ghee mixed with milk”, according to 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 6.36cd-45, while describing rituals involving the śaśimaṇḍala]—“The Mantrin [writes the name of the person] who wishes to become Amṛteśa as well as the nine tattvas, starting with Śiva in the śaśimaṇḍala, from the middle going east, etc. When overcome with 100 illnesses or threats of untimely death, then [the Mantrin] conducts worship with white implements, or with ghee mixed with milk (kṣīraghṛta), or with sesame seeds, or [he] uses fuel made of milk[-tree wood]. From [this] oblation [the afflicted] attains peace. [...]”.
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.
