In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Indo-Iranian Journal, Volume 56, Issue 2 (Jan 2013)Musalendra (मुसलेन्द्र) refers to a disciple of Lakuleśa, according to Kṣemarāja (cf. Uddyota on Svacchandatantra 10.1134–1135). Musalendra is not different from Musalīśa in meaning. As Kṣemarāja states, it was a disciple of Lakuleśa called Musalendra who took out six ancillary texts attached to one of the eight Pramāṇa texts, and on the basis of those texts introduced a new ritual-based order, whereas the older Lākula order was centered on gnosis (see Sanderson 2006: 176–177).
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.
