In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Wisdom Library: ŚaivismRauravāgama (रौरवागम):—One of the 28 Śaivāgamas. This is one of the five Āgamas that were proclaimed to the world by the Tatpuruṣa face (of Śiva).
Source: Google Books: Making Sense of Tantric Buddhism (Shaivism)Rauravāgama (रौरवागम).—The third chapter of the Rauravasūtrasaṃgraha relates the origins of the Rauravāgama, the “descent of the Tantra into the human world” (tantrāvatāra), in which the “supreme guru of the world” Ananteśa reveals the scripture in the form of a smokeless blaze of light to Śrīkaṇṭha (Śiva), who transmits it to the goddess Devī, and so on to Nandīśa, Brahmā, and ultimately to various sages and ordinary human disciples.
Source: Shodhganga: Iconographical representations of ŚivaRauravāgama (रौरवागम) or simply Raurava refers to one of the twenty-eight Siddhāntāgama: a classification of the Śaiva division of Śaivāgamas. The Śaivāgamas represent the wisdom that has come down from lord Śiva, received by Pārvatī and accepted by Viṣṇu. The Śaivāgamas are divided into four groups viz. Śaiva, Pāśupata, Soma and Lākula. Śaiva is further divided in to Dakṣiṇa, Vāma and Siddhānta (e.g., raurava-āgama).
According to the pratisaṃhitā theory of Āgama origin and relationship (sambandha), it was Sadāśiva who first imparted the Rauravāgama through parasambandha to Brāhmaṇeśa, who then imparted it through mahānsambandha to Nandikeśa who then, through divya-sambandha, transmitted it to the Devas who, through divyādivya-sambandha, transmitted it to the Ṛṣis who finally, through adivya-sambandha, revealed the Rauravāgama to human beings (Manuṣya). (also see Anantaśambhu’s commentary on the Siddhāntasārāvali of Trilocanaśivācārya)
The Upāgamas for Rauravāgama are: Kālaghna, Kalātīta, Raurava, Rauravottara, Mahākālamata and Aindra. The purpose of revealing Upāgamas is to explain more elaborately than that of Mūlāgamas and to include any new idea if not dealt in Mūlāgamas.
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.
