In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Wisdom Library: 艢aivism顿耻谤驳腻迟墨谤迟丑补 (啶︵啶班啶椸ぞ啶む啶班啶�) is the name of a 罢墨谤迟丑补 (sacred bathing place) that is associated with the 碍耻艣别艣惫补谤补 Li峁単a (symbolical manifestation of 艢iva). This place represents the first of the sixty-four 蝉颈诲诲丑补濒颈峁単补蝉 mentioned in the Nepalese Tyasaphu (a folding book or leporello). At each of these spots 艢iva is manifest as a Li峁単a. Each of these 濒颈峁単补蝉 has its own specific name, mantra, set of rituals and observances, auspicious time etc.
The auspiscious time for bathing at the Durg膩-t墨rtha near the Ku艣a-墨艣vara-li峁単a is mentioned as 鈥渕膩gha-k峁涐梗峁嘺-caturda艣墨 pau峁-p奴r峁噄m膩鈥� (latin: magha-krishna-caturdashi pausha-purnima). This basically represents the recommended day for bathing there (蝉苍腻苍补诲颈苍补).
Shaiva (啶多啶�, 艣aiva) or Shaivism (艣aivism) 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.
