In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsNaiṣṭhikī (नैष्ठिकी) is a synonym for Mumukṣu (“liberation seeker�), according to the Mṛgendrāgama.—Another early source which distinguishes between the śṇ� and ǰ첹ṇ�-īṣ� is the Mṛgendra-āgama, which was composed after the Svacchanda-tantra. This scripture maintains the same basic set of categories and organization of initiatory groups, even though it uses slightly different terminology. Thus, instead of referring to initiations for the ܳܰṣu and the ܲܰṣu, the Mṛgendra uses the terms Բṣṭī and ܳپī, the former of which is divided into the ṣ� and Ծṣ�, corresponding to the ī/Ծī distinction, and the latter again into śṇ� and ǰ첹ṇ�.

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.
