In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Tattvavit (तत्त्ववित्) refers to “conversant with categorical knowledge of the Truth, such as guru-tattva, māyā-tattva and īśvara-tattva”. (cf. Glossary page from Śrīmad-Bhagavad-Gītā).
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’).
