In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
: Pure Bhakti: Brahma-samhitaղṭaٳ (तटस्�) refers to—Marginal. When there is a point on the bank of a river which is exactly on the boundary between air and water, it is called the marginal position. It may sometimes be submerged beneath the water and may sometimes be exposed to the air. This same adjective is applied to the living entity, who is the marginal potency of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and who may be submerged in the darkness of the material energy, or may remain forever under the shelter of Kṛṣṇa’s personal energy. The living entity can never remain in the marginal position, but must take shelter of the spiritual energy or be subjected to the material energy.

Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu�).
