In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Lokavidviṣṭa (लोकविद्विष्ट) refers to “one who is hated by the world”, according to the Pātravidhi—a manual of the Lakulīśa Pāśupata school of Śaivism dealing with purification of the initiate’s vessel (pātra) and other concerned issues.—Accordingly, “One who has the habit of bathing at the three junctures of the day, bears garlands made of the remains of Śiva worship, is well settled in mind, [and] is always engaged in Upahāra, is entitled to eat in the vessel. (62) One who is unclothed, hated by the world (lokavidviṣṭa), bears the remains of Śiva worship on the head, and whose body is smeared with ashes, is entitled to eat from the vessel. (63)”.
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.
