In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsŚodhayitvā (शोधयित्वा) refers to “having purified”, according to the Jñānaratnāvalī, (p. 268).—Accordingly, “Now the lokadharmiṇī is divided into the superior and the inferior. Of these the superior bestows Śiva-hood. And it is said: ‘Having purified (śodhayitvā) the pure and impure karma situated on the cosmic path, whichever [initiation] brings about liberation is the supreme lokadharmiṇī [initiation]’”
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.
