In Hinduism

Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)

: Prabhupada Books: Sri Caitanya Caritamrta

ٲ (स्मार्�).—At that time there were many ٲs (nondevotee followers of Vedic rituals) at the holy place of Navadvīpa, which was also the birthplace of Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Followers of the ṛti-śٰ are called ٲs. Most of them are nondevotees, and their main business is following the brahminical principles strictly. However, they are not enlightened in devotional service. In Navadvīpa all the learned scholars are followers of the ṛti-śٰ, and Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu did not attempt to convert them. Therefore the author has remarked that the spiritual potency Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu did not manifest at Navadvīpa was by His grace manifest in South India.

Smarta (स्मर्त) is a loos term used for a brahmin who adheres to the non-sectarian orthodoxy, one who considers himself to be neither exclusively Shiv-oriented (Shaiva) nor exclusively Vishnu-oriented (Vaishnava). Rather than worshipping one deity exclusively, the Smarta tradition frequently combines the worship of five major deities. The five deities are now commonly held to be Vishu, Shiva, Devi (Durga), Ganesha/Ganapati, and the Sun God Surya.
