In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram厂颈峁僪腻惫补濒辞办补苍补 (啶膏た啶傕す啶距さ啶侧啶曕え) [cf. 厂颈峁僪腻惫补濒辞办颈苍墨] refers to the 鈥済aze of the lion鈥� in the later Kubjik膩 Tantras.鈥敵Ь贬箖h腻惫补濒辞办补苍补 is the most intense form of the Command (迟墨惫谤腻箩帽腻) and the radiant energy (tejas) of the Siddhas. Transmitted by the deity through the teacher, it gathers together the energies of the one to whom it is directed. It removes the impurities that break up the unity of the energies and so brings about a condition of oneness (蝉腻尘补谤补蝉测补) through which the Transmission (krama) is imparted.
The Gaze of the Lion (蝉颈峁僪腻惫补濒辞办补苍补) serves in the same way to purify outer reality as well. The goddess's gaze sanctifies and empowers not only deities and living beings; places are also transformed into sacred sites by her looking at them in this way. Her gaze purifies amulets and the scriptures. For the same reason, no doubt, the goddess views the 尘补峁囜笉补濒补 with the fierce and powerful gaze of a lion.
Shakta (啶多ぞ啶曕啶�, 艣膩kta) or Shaktism (艣膩ktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: academia.edu: The Original Pa峁噃av膩yara峁嘺/Pra艣navy膩kara峁嘺 Discovered厂颈峁僪腻惫补濒辞办补苍补 (啶膏た啶傕す啶距さ啶侧啶曕え) refers to a particular measure, as taught in the Pa峁噃av膩gara峁嘺 (Sanskrit: Pra艣navy膩kara峁嘺): the tenth Anga of the Jain canon which deals with the prophetic explanation of queries regarding divination.鈥擳he Pra艣navy膩kara峁嘺 deals with the 辫谤补艣苍补惫颈诲测腻 in a rather complex way. It is divided into at least 33 short chapters [e.g., 蝉颈峁僪腻惫补濒辞办补苍补-prakara峁嘺], some of which are further divided into sub-chapters. Some contents of the text, mainly those related with articulation and pronunciation can have significance far beyond the scope of the 辫谤补艣苍补惫颈诲测腻.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
