In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Tādātmya (तादात्म्य).—Relation of non-difference; limiting relation of absentee (pratiyogin) to a mutual absence (anyo’nyābhāva).
Tādātmya (तादात्म्य).—Possession of the same nature; तत्स्वभावता (tatsvabhāvatā); cf. सुबामन्त्रिते पराङ्गवत्स्वरे । तादात्म्यातिदेशोयम् (subāmantrite parāṅgavatsvare | tādātmyātideśoyam) Kas. on P.II.1.2.
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Tadātmya (तदात्म्य) refers to:—A sense of oneness. An example of something that has attained tadātmya is an iron rod heated by fire to such a degree that it acts as fire and burns other objects. The iron is said to have obtained oneness, or tadātmya, with the fire. (cf. Glossary page from Śrī Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta).
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Tādātmya (तादात्म्य) refers to the “state of oneness” , according to the commentary on the Mālinīvijayottaratantra.—Accordingly, “The worship of the Liṅga is prescribed in the Śaivasiddhānta in order to impart the knowledge that it consists of the entire cosmic order (viśvādhvan). In the Kula and other scriptures, on the other hand, it is prohibited in order to teach that the cosmic nature is in the body. Here (Trika doctrine is concerned with that) which is of the nature of all things, so how can there be either prohibition or injunction? The practice of the discipline (niyama) (enjoined by other Śaiva schools demands) matted hair and the rest. But in order to achieve the state of oneness (tādātmya) (this kind of discipline) has been abandoned in the Kaula tradition because it teaches the means based on bliss (sukhopāya)”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Tādātmya (तादात्म्य) refers to “(realize one’s) identity (with Śiva)”, according to the Tantrāloka 4.257cd-258ab.—Accordingly, while discussing the lower and higher teachings of Śaivism: “[The lower Tantras prescribe the wearing of] matted locks, [ashes], and the like, so that by constantly adhering to these rules one may realize one's identity [with Śiva] (tādātmya). [But] the Kaula system forbids these [practices]; for it teaches a method that abjures all austerities”.
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Tādātmya (तादात्म्य) refers to the “intimate relationship” (of Śrī to Vāsudeva), as discussed in chapter 2 of the Lakṣmītantra: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 3600 Sanskrit verses exclusively devoted to Goddess Lakṣmī or Śrī (the consort of Viṣṇu) besides dealing with cosmology and practical regarding Vaishnava priests and temple-building programs.—Description of the chapter [śuddha-mārgaprakāśa]: The chapter opens with a description (by Śrī) of the Paramātman-form known as (the transcendent) Vāsudeva, of her intimate [tādātmya] relationship to Him and thus her own greatness, omnipotence, omniscience, etc. as His Śakti (1-25). The Lord in His own essence is jñāna; the attributes associated with this essence, however, are six—namely, jñāna (icchā), śakti, bala, aiśvarya, vīrya, and tejas. [...]
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
