In Hinduism

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Svagṛha (स्वगृह) refers to “one’s own home”, according to the Ambāmatasaṃhitā verse 18-119-12.—Accordingly, “Washing first (his) food with water, he should eat it with the left hand. Maintaining the vow of purity and silence, (he should remains) concentrated and content. All the food he has earned is the sacrificial pap (caruka) he eats. The pervasion (vyāpti) (of the deity) and success in the repetition of mantra (japasiddhi) arise due to that. This should be done in one’s own home [i.e., svagṛha] or in a secluded place where there are no other people. Otherwise, the householder should not do it”.

[...] After performing a severe penance as His devotee I shall become Rudra’s beloved and then perform the work of the gods. This is truth, real truth, there is no doubt about it. All of you return to your abodes [i.e., svagṛha]. Continuously worship Śiva. Undoubtedly your miseries will be quelled by His favour. By the grace of merciful lord Śiva, you will achieve auspicious results. As the wife of that lord I shall be honoured and worshipped in the world. [...]”.
