In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram (shaivism)Śaivadarśana (शैवदर्शन) refers to all the schools of Āgamic Śaivism collectively, which Kashmiri Śaivites refer to as ‘Pārameśvaradarśana’. It is also regularly used to mean ‘Tantric or Kaula teaching’. Each one of the Kaula traditions (āmnāya) is a ‘darśana’. It denotes both the entire Tantric system and, as the rites and Yogic practices taught in any Tantric system imply a view of reality, it also implicitly denotes its theoretical, metaphysical basis.
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.
