In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsVarjya (वर्ज्य) or Varjyadharma refers to the “duties that should be abandoned” (in the kaliyuga-age), as discussed in chapter 14 of the (fourth part of the) Śāṇḍilyasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 3600 Sanskrit verses dealing with devotion towards Kṛṣṇa who is identified with the Supreme, as well as ethical behavior and pious practices to be observed by devotees (bhaktas).—Description of the chapter [kali-varjyāvarjyadharma-nirūpaṇa]: [...] The rest of the chapter turns to miscellaneous matters that are to be expected during those dark days of kaliyuga-age—like mixed marriages, widow-burning, widow-marriage, going overseas, bad shaving habits, wearing the dhotis folded incorrectly, wrongly putting the puṇḍra-marks on, etc. (27-67).
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.
