In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Shodhganga: Temple management in the ĀgamasSadāśivadhyāna (सदाशिवध्यान) refers to the “visualization of Sadāśiva” and represents a ceremony to be performed during pūjā (ritualistic worship), according to the Arcanāvidhipaṭala of Kāmikāgama.—Then, in the nābhi of the liṅga, the Ācārya invokes a shining mūrti of the īśvara-tattva made of the maṇḍala of the sun and the moon and blazing like a column of fire. At the crown of the liṅga, the Ācārya invokes Sadāśiva. This he does with the special mantra (mūrtimantra, sādākhyamantra) given to him at the time of dīkṣā. He first meditates on the form of Sadāśiva. It is said that this visualization of the form accomplishes all desires.
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.
