In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Śaivism岵 (ललिताग�):—One of the 28 Ś岵. This is one of the eight Āgamas that were proclaimed to the world by the Īśāna face (of Śiva).
: Shodhganga: Iconographical representations of Śiva岵 (ललिताग�) or simply Lalita refers to one of the twenty-eight Գ岵: a classification of the Śaiva division of Ś岵. The Ś岵 represent the wisdom that has come down from lord Śiva, received by Pārvatī and accepted by Viṣṇu. The Ś岵 are divided into four groups viz. Śaiva, Pāśupata, Soma and Lākula. Śaiva is further divided in to Dakṣiṇa, Vāma and Siddhānta (e.g., ٲ-岵).
According to the پṃh theory of Āgama origin and relationship (sambandha), it was ś who first imparted the 岵 through parasambandha to Ālayeśa, who then imparted it through ԲԻ to Lalita who then, through divya-sambandha, transmitted it to the Devas who, through 徱徱ⲹ-Ի, transmitted it to the Ṛṣis who finally, through adivya-sambandha, revealed the 岵 to human beings (Manuṣya). (also see Anantaśambhu’s commentary on the Siddhāntasārāvali of Trilocanaśivācārya)
The Upāgamas for 岵 are: Lalita, Lalitottara and Kaumāra. The purpose of revealing Upāgamas is to explain more elaborately than that of Mūlāgamas and to include any new idea if not dealt in Mūlāgamas.

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.
