In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Shodhganga: Temple management in the ĀgamasŚāntida (शान्तिद) refers to a classification of pūjā (ritualistic worship) according to the Kāraṇāgama.—The Āgamas have several different classifications of nityapūjā (daily worship), based on the number of offerings, frequency, time duration and so on. The nomenclature also varies between Āgamas. The essence however is similar. Śāntida is mentioned in the Kāraṇāgama (30.405) as “the pūjā that ends with bali”.
Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraŚāntida (शान्तिद) refers to “that which grants (all) tranquility”, according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 15.12-14ab, while describing the symbolic significance of mustard (seeds)]—“The Mantrin should offer the oblation that grants all tranquility (sarva-śāntida) [with a] mixture of ghee, cow’s milk, ground white sugar, and sesame seeds when one has come under the control of death [or has been] attacked by evil spirits. Indeed, he should offer the highest red mustard together with black sesame sprinkled with three kinds of oils. Instantly, [this] produces the fruit of universal tranquility”.
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.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramŚāntidā (शान्तिदा) refers to “she who bestows tranquillity”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, “[...] O goddess, (this form) bestows all fruits and gives (both) worldly enjoyment and liberation and accomplishes all (one’s) goals. She destroys all suffering and drags (away all) disturbance. She bestows tranquillity [i.e., śāntidā—śāntipuṣṭidā], fulfillment and accomplishment. She bestows flight and the rest as well as the most divine gathering in the circle (of initiates). O beloved, she bestows the cosmic form and whatever desire (kāma) and wealth (one may) wish for. You will thus be the object of adoration (pujyā) by means of the Vidyā of thirty-two syllables”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa (p)Śāntida (शान्तिद) refers to “that which bestows peace”, according to the Saṅkarṣaṇa Samhitā (verse 8.5-8).—Accordingly, the Garuḍamantra clears all the doubts of the person who chants it and protects him irrespective of his desire. It always bestows peace (śāntida), prosperity and wellness on its aspirant voluntarily just like a mother, and showers strength like a father. It gives joy like one’s own spouse and showers knowledge even as a preceptor would do to a student. To put it succintly, the Garuḍamantra is on par with lord Hari himself in bestowing on his devotees, the best of everything desired by them, simultaneously assuring them of constant protection in this and the other world
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.
