In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsCakramaṇḍaladīkṣā (चक्रमण्डलदीक्षा) refers to a type of Dīkṣā (“initiation”), as discussed in chapter 9 of the Viśvāmitrasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 2600 Sanskrit verses covering topics such as initiation (dīkṣā) and the construction, decoration and consecration of temples and icons, as well as routines of regular and special worship cycles.—Description of the chapter [dīkṣā-vidhi]: [...] After worshipping the Lord in the maṇḍala-motif (74-75), the newly initiated person is warned to observe certain rules and to avoid certain prohibited activities (76-83). The initiation rites draw to a close with more homa-offerings and with rewards given to the preceptor (84-88). One who has undergone this “best” kind of cakramaṇḍaladīkṣā is worthy to be called an Ekāntin, a Pāñcarātrika, a Sūri; a Bhāgavata a Sāttvata and a Pāñcakālika (89-94а).
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.
