In Hinduism

Vastushastra (architecture)

Source: McGill: The architectural theory of the Mānasāra

Sāmīpya (सामीप्य) refers to the second of four kinds of devotees (bhakta), according to the Mānasāra LIX, 1-2. According to the Mānasāra LIX, 3-4, “Jñāna and vairāgya yoked together is stated as sāmīpya”. Sāmīpya, is “being near the deity”.

In the state of sāmīpya, bhakti is significant by its absence: only jñāna and vairāgya are present. The attitude of bhakti thus eliminated, dispassion or detachment towards the world dominates this state. In other words, the “turning away from the world” is more complete.

context information

Vastushastra (वास्तुशास्त्र, vāstuśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian science (shastra) of architecture (vastu), dealing with topics such architecture, sculpture, town-building, fort building and various other constructions. Vastu also deals with the philosophy of the architectural relation with the cosmic universe.

Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

Source: McGill: The architectural theory of the Mānasāra (shaivism)

Sāmīpya (सामीप्य) refers to the second state of a devotee (bhakta).—These four states are explained in not only abstract, philosophical, but also concrete, relational, terms in the Śaiva Siddhānta tradition. Thus, in sālokya, the relationship of devotee to deity is servile (servant-master), in sāmīpya, filial (son-father), in sārūpya, fraternal (as between friends), and in sāyūjya, amorous (as between loyers). The first three prepare the devotee for the fourth.

The four classes of devotees or the states of spiritual life somewhat correspond to the four divisions of the Āgamas and the four modes of sādhana, spiritual practice, they entail. Thus, sālokya corresponds to carya, ritual and moral conduct, sāmīpya to kriyā, architectural and iconographic making, sārūpya to yoga, meditation, and sāyūjya ta jñānapada, theology and gnosis.

Sāmīpya (सामीप्य) refers to “(being in) the vicinity (of the Lord)”.—(Cf. Jayaratha’s commentary on the Tantrāloka 15.13.246).—As Watson et al. (2013, 249–250 and note 167) discuss, an example of a “lower” level of liberation, associated with Paurāṇic spiritual goals, is to become a gaṇapati, or chief attendant, of the lord, thus experiencing being in the same world (sālokya) as the Lord or in his vicinity (sāmīpya)—spiritual goals, as the authors point out, which are also expressed in the lay literature of early medieval India, such as the old Skandapurāṇa and Śivadharmaśāstra.

Sāmīpya (सामीप्य) refers to one of the four types of Mukti (“release”), as discussed in the seventh chapter [second book] of the Jñānāmṛtasārasaṃhita: a Pāñcarātra text representing a sectarian glorification of Kṛṣṇa and Rādha (i.e., the cult of Radha-Krishna) dated among the latest of the Saṃhitā-type works.—Description of the chapter [muktijñāna-kathana]: Nārada, having heard so far about this wonderful bhakti, wants to know now about mukti (1). He is told that mukti is the actual union with Hari and finding satisfaction thereby (2). Mukti is of four types: sālokya, sārṣṭi, sāmīpya and sārūpya—depending upon the nature of enjoyment of the person so released. But, really, devotion and service to Hari are the best kinds of release—adds Mahādeva (3-7). [...]
