In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: DSpace at Pondicherry: Siddha Cult in Tamilnadu (shaivism)惭补丑别艣惫补谤补辫奴箩腻 (啶す啷囙ざ啷嵿さ啶班お啷傕啶�).鈥擜ccording the Tirumandiram, the act of feeding devotees of 艢iva is also known as Mahe艣vara-p奴j膩. It is deemed higher than devayajna or 艣r膩ddha (a religious ceremony observed for the benefit of dead relatives). To some extent it is better than making donations to temples and Brahmans, and constructing temples.
The Tirumandiram claims that feeding the devotees of 艢iva and partaking of left-overs of their meals would result in liberation and elimination of sins. A separate chapter with ten verses entitled 鈥楳ahe艣vara p奴j膩鈥� in Tirumandiram constitutes an appeal to the indigenous population to abandon Brahmanical religious practices and it advised to support the activities of vernacular matha.
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.
