In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Suvarṇatā (सुवर्णता) [=Suvarṇa?] refers to “gold”, according to the Kulārṇava-tantra 14.89.—Accordingly, “Just as iron penetrated by mercury becomes gold (suvarṇatā), even so a soul penetrated by initiation becomes divine”.
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.
