Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsYoginīmelana (योगिनीमेलन) refers to an “encounter with the Yoginīs”, according to the 13th-century Matsyendrasaṃhitā: a Kubjikā-Tripurā oriented Tantric Yoga text of the Ṣaḍanvayaśāmbhava tradition from South India.—Accordingly, “Contempt [for these] will make him fall immediately here in this world and in the other world, O Pārvatī. He should not follow the path of the paśus [i.e. that of the uninitiated] and he should not long for the leftover of paśus. He should strive for an encounter with the Yoginīs (yoginīmelana). He should not have sex with uninitiated women. He should not give leftovers to the uninitiated (paśu). He should never abuse women. [...]”.
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.
