In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditionsҳī (घ्नी) refers to “that (initiation) which kills (quickly)�, according to the Jayadrathayāmala, Ṣaṭka 1 verse 13.3�18::—Accordingly, “[...] Besides (ūⲹ) the Ծṇaīṣ� bestowing liberation is of many kinds: ś-īṣ�, ǰ첹-īṣ� and the initiation which kills quickly (ṣi-ī), causing the body to fall. [The initiation] which reveals everything through the attainment of Śiva through the performance of post-initiatory rites once the three bonds (i.e. the three impurities) have ceased due to the purification of the consciousness on one [of the six] paths, [that] initiation is known to be the śīṣ�, which bestows the attainment of liberation because it is contrary to the mundane practice. [...]�.

Shaiva (शै�, 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.
