In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsSamāveśalakṣaṇa (समावेशलक्षण) refers to the “distinguishing mark of samāveśa”, according to the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvivṛtivimarśinī (KSTS vol. 65, 327–331).—Accordingly, “[Utpala teaches that] the ‘distinguishing mark of samāveśa’ [i.e., samāveśalakṣaṇa] is ‘insight,’ since it is opposed to the Impurity that is ignorance, being characterized by a perfect (samyag), that is to say complete (‘ā samantāt’), entry into one’s true nature, obtaining which one becomes a gnostic (jñānī), and practicing which, on the levels of body, prāṇa, etc., one becomes a Yogī, due to attaining the glory (vibhava) that is an intrinsic quality of infinite Consciousness.”.
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.
