In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsTejomayaśarīra (तेजोमयशरीर) refers to the “luminous-body”, as discussed in the eleventh chapter of the Jayākhyasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra Āgama text composed of 4500 verses in 33 chapters dealing with topics such as mantra (formulas), japa (repetitions), dhyāna (meditations), mudrā (gesticulations), nyāsa (concentrations) etc.—Description of the chapter [samādhi-khyāpana]:—[...] Meditating upon his own mundane condition, the aspirant then meditates on earth, air, fire, water and space as being essentially one with him; the same is done with the subtle forms of these gross elements (23-57). Having succeeded in this, the jīva is lifted in imagination through the various levels of being to the realm of kaivalya-consciousness (58-77), whereupon in his “luminous-body” [tejomayaśarīra] he aspires to feel infused by the Power and Presence of the universal spirit invoked by the ātmamantra which he repeats (78-103).
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.
