In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraVyāpakatā (व्यापकता) refers to the “pervader” (i.e., that which permeates the others), according to the Netratantroddyota commentary on 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 4.3cd-4ab]—“[...] This means, he should contemplate each of these paths [that has to be purified]. After [he] makes it the principle [path of worship he becomes the] pervader (vyāpakatā), [i.e., that which permeates the others] with the form of [potential or manifest] explicitness in the remaining five paths. Included within [the path], as it has spread, is the form of potential. As has been said in the Svacchanda-tantra, ‘[he should] visualize the adhvans as pervaded by [the others and the others] pervaded by it’”.
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.
