Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram (shaivism)Yonigahvara (योनिगह्वर) or Yonigahvaratantra refers to one of the sources on the Kaula traditions quoted in the Tantrāloka.—By Abhinava's time the Kālīkrama had emerged as an independent Kaula tradition (kulāmnāya). The sources to which he refers and Jayaratha quotes, refer to many Kaula traditions, but they may not all have been independent ones. Certainly by Abhinava’s time the Kālīkula possessed a number of independent scriptures. Two at least—the Yonigahvaratantra and the Ūrmikaulārṇavatantra—which we know preceded him and others in the same line like the Kālīkulakramasadbhāva and the Devīpañcaśataka have survived in a few manuscripts. A study of these sources reveals that they too follow the same approach.
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.
