Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)

Nairantarya (नैरन्तर्य) refers to the “contiguous” (state of atoms), according to the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvivṛtivimarśinī 2.140.—Accordingly, “[...] Anticipating this [objection, Utpaladeva] says ‘To explain …’ Here is the implicit meaning [of this passage]: if the pot is [nothing but] atoms with intervals (antara) [separating them from each other], then [the pot] must be imperceptible. [...] But if [the atoms] are contiguous (nairantarya), they [must] be in contact with one another”.

context information

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.
