In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsVaidikī (वैदिकी) refers to “Vedic rules”, according to Tantrālokaviveka commentary on the Tantrāloka verses 4.230ab-232ab.—Accordingly, “[‘If you argue that this Śaiva rule is invalidated by the Vedic one (vaidikī), (we reply:) why shouldn’t it be the other way around?’].—[...] Considering that one may object by asking how it is that both [śāstras] are equally real, given that in certain contexts the injunction(s) associated with purity and the like are invalidated, even though they apply universally, for all people, [Abhinavagupta] says: [‘If you think about it clearly, a rule that is an exception invalidates a rule generally applied, because it applies in a particular domain’]. [...]”.
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.
