In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsTīvramanda (तीव्रमन्द) refers to one of the three levels of Lokadharmī, according to Jayaratha’s commentary on the Tantrāloka 15.13.246.—In order to create three levels of lokadharmī, he uses the following distinctions, according to which the way to liberation is increasingly remote: the highest (tīvramanda śaktipāta) concerns the lokadharmī who automatically attains Śivahood after an interval of of some period, which he spends in a desired cosmic level—a category of lokadharmī Jayaratha equates with the standard form we have so far encountered; the second highest (madhya-manda śaktipāta) concerns the lokadharmī who is initiated again in another world before reaching liberation; and the third (manda-manda śaktipāta) concerns the lokadharmī who first experiences enjoyments for a very long period, as well as different levels of proximity to the deity of the chosen universe, and only then receives initiation again, through which he attains Śivahood.
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.
