In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (vaishnavism)Paramadayālu (परमदयालु) refers to the “greatly compassionate one” according to the commentary on Piḷḷai Lōkācārya’s Arthapañcaka.—Accordingly, “The person who does this ācāryābhimāna is incapable of doing anything else. With regard to him, reflecting on his lowliness and the happiness of the Lord if he were to obtain him, like a mother, who when her child falls ill, sees this as her own fault and gives it medicine, the Ācārya is that greatly compassionate one (paramadayālu) and great devotee who can undertake the means of salvation for the soul. All that the souls has to do is to surrender to the love for him and, [as in the saying], ‘if you were to give me the certain prize, then we are meant to obtain it’, with regard to all his activities do and not do what he [the Ācārya] commands.”
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’).
