In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Pauṣkarāgama (पौष्करागम) or simply Pauṣkara is said to be a subsidiary (upabheda) of the Pārameśvara, itself one of the 28 tantras or āgamas recognized as authoritative by Śaivas. Note: Some scholars believe that this Pauṣkara is not the ‘original’ one but a later South Indian redaction that was unknown to Saiddhāntikas of old such as Bhaṭṭa Rāmakaṇṭha (cf. Goodall 2004: li–lii); other scholars do not doubt the authenticity of the Pauṣkara (cf. Colas-Chauhan 2007: 10–12).
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.
