In Hinduism

Source: Pure Bhakti: Bhagavad-gita (4th edition)Mudgalarṣi (मुद्गलर्षि) refers to “a sage who used to perform sacrifice on the full moon and dark moon. Once Durvāsā Muni visited him. Pleased by his service attitude, Durvāsā blessed him that he could go to the higher planets in his present body. When the messengers of the demigods came in a celestial airplane to bring him there, he refused to go with them and instead preached to them about temporary nature of the higher planets”. (cf. Glossary page from Śrīmad-Bhagavad-Gītā).
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’).
