  • Demand for Separate Lingayat Religion
    Demand for Separate Lingayat religion Why in news? \n\n The Karnataka government decided to recommend to the Centre to grant religious minority status to the Lingayat community. \n\n What is the state government decision? \n\n \n Lingayats account for nearly 17 per cent of the state’s population. \n The demand for separate religion tag and minority status is a long pending demand of the Lingayat community. \n The State Cabinet has decided to accept the recommendations of the state minority commission in this regard. \n The religious minority recognition will thus be granted under the Karnataka Minorities Act. \n The status will cover two factions of the community — Lingayats and Veerashaiva Lingayats. \n The State Cabinet also decided to forward the demand to the Centre for notifying under the Central Minority Commission Act. \n \n\n Who are the Lingayats? \n\n \n The Lingayats are strict monotheists. \n They instruct the worship of only one God, namely, Linga (Shiva). \n ‘Linga’ here does not mean Linga established in temples. \n It is rather the universal consciousness qualified by the universal energy (Shakti). \n Status - Lingayats are currently classified as a Hindu sub-caste called “Veerashaiva Lingayats”. \n There is a general misconception that Lingayatism is a subsect of Shaivism, which is itself a sect of Hinduism. \n There is also a misconception that the Lingayats are Shudras. \n But textual evidence and reasoning suggests that Lingayatism is not a sect or subsect of Hinduism, but an independent religion. \n \n\n How did it evolve? \n\n \n The community actually evolved from a 12th century movement led by social reformer and philosopher-saint Basavanna.

  • Kashmiri Shaivism: a Historical Overview Younus Rashid [email protected]
    Kashmiri Shaivism: A Historical Overview Younus Rashid [email protected] Abstract: Shiva traditions are those whose focus is the deity Shiva and a Shaiva/Shaivite is a Hindu who follows the teachings of Shiva (Sivasana). Kashmiri Shaivism is a system of idealistic monism based on the Shivasutra. This system deals with the three-fold principle of God, Soul, and Matter, it is called Trikasastra or simply Trika. It is a system of ideal Monism founded by Vasugupta. Its central position is that there is only one Ultimate Principle, but this principle has two aspects, one transcendental and the other immanent. The present paper is an attempt to understand the growth and development of Shiva traditions in Kashmir, with special focus on Trikasaivism. The paper shall also make an attempt to explore the diversity of the tradition through the practices and the doctrine. It shall also attempt to show a distinctive religious imaginary that sets Trikasaivism apart from other Indian traditions. Unlike most ancient cultural traditions of India about which we know very little, the culture and history of Kashmir is not completely opaque to the intellectual historian. Especially in Kalhana's Rajatarahgint, written in the 12th century A.D., we have an important quasi-history or near-history of the Kashmir area which provides a valuable and reasonably accurate picture of the social-cultural life of the region from the eighth or ninth centuries onward.1 Prior to eighth century, we know that Kashmir was a centre for Buddhist studies.2 Already in the reign of Asoka in the 3rd century B.C., 1 Larson, Gerald James, “The Aesthetic (Rasāsvadā) and the Religious (Brahmāsvāda) in Abhinavagupta's Kashmir Śaivism”, Philosophy East and West, Vol.

  • Shaivism by Dr
    Shaivism By Dr. Subhash Chandra Shaivism is one of the major traditions within Hinduism that reveres Shiva as the Supreme Being. The followers of Shaivism are called "Shaivites" or "Saivites". It is one of the largest sects that believe Shiva — worshipped as a creator and destroyer of worlds — is the supreme god over all. The Shaiva have many sub-traditions, ranging from devotional dualistic theism such as Shaiva Siddhanta to yoga-oriented monistic non-theism such as Kashmiri Shaivism. It considers both the Vedas and the Agama texts as important sources of theology. The origin of Shaivism may be traced to the conception of Rudra in the Rig Veda. Shaivism has ancient roots, traceable in the Vedic literature of 2nd millennium BCE, but this is in the form of the Vedic deity Rudra. The ancient text Shvetashvatara Upanishad dated to late 1st millennium BCE mentions terms such as Rudra, Shiva and Maheshwaram, but its interpretation as a theistic or monistic text of Shaivism is disputed. In the early centuries of the common era is the first clear evidence of Pāśupata Shaivism. Both devotional and monistic Shaivism became popular in the 1st millennium CE, rapidly becoming the dominant religious tradition of many Hindu kingdoms. It arrived in Southeast Asia shortly thereafter, leading to thousands of Shaiva temples on the islands of Indonesia as well as Cambodia and Vietnam, co- evolving with Buddhism in these regions. In the contemporary era, Shaivism is one of the major aspects of Hinduism. Shaivism theology ranges from Shiva being the creator, preserver, destroyer to being the same as the Atman (self, soul) within oneself and every living being.

  • Certain Influences of Shaivism and Tantra on the Islamic Mystics
    Appendix: Certain Influences of Shaivism and Tantra on the Islamic Mystics In order to have an integrated understanding of the S´aivite and Tan- tric influences on certain mystical currents in the Islamic world, it behooves us to consider the need for a future comprehensive volume. This appendix is only a brief introduction to what may be buried or disguised in the memory of the past. The porous borders between the Indian and the Islamic worlds have always created inevitable cross- influences, which can no longer be overlooked. In India, if the Sufis and yogic masters lived side by side, they must have intermingled and influenced one another. Certainly, various Hatha Yoga and S´aivite ideas became manifested in the practices of the Sufis in India as they absorbed non-Islamic elements.1 Chroniclers record that in thirteenth-century Sind some dervish orders would gather in certain S´iva temples.2 Shaivism as a potent spiritual order assimilated many elements from other traditions. The multifaceted nature of some of its practices and universal conceptual ideas meant that S´aiva practices could be car- ried on under other names. And with its syncretic system of practices, Shaivism spread through north India, Central Asia, and Iran, “influ- encing both Qalandars and Sufis.”3 The strength of Shaivism’s his- torical presence was such that the early Kushan dynasty (ca. 80–375), in what is now Afghanistan, adopted Shaivism alongside Buddhism: their coins depicted S´iva on one side and the Buddha on the other.4 The archaeological evidence for the

  • Moksha in Kashmir Shaivism by John Hughes
    Moksha (liberation) in Kashmir Shaivism by John Hughes The Sanskrit word moksha is commonly translated in English as spiritual “liberation” or “freedom.” With some exceptions in the devotional (bhakti) traditions it is held by all of the great philosophical and religious traditions of India to be the true and fitting purpose of all human endeavor. Although these traditions teach that the attainment of human emancipation is the end all and be all of spiritual life, they have quite different interpretations of what this term actually means. In fact, there are as many different interpretations of the meaning of moksha as there are philosophical understandings about the nature of God and the world. And, as the various schools differ in their understanding of the nature of moksha, so also do they differ in regard to the means (upāya) by which it is to be attained. My intention in writing this article is to introduce the extraordinary soteriology of Kashmir Shaivism. In so doing I will describe the unique understanding of moksha and the means of its attainment as revealed by this important tradition. I believe that after the reader has a chance to reflect on this theory they will find it to be not only unique but also quite profound. Introduction The ancient tradition of Kashmir Shaivism is a non-dual (advaita) school of philosophy, which takes as its source the ninety-two Tantras of Lord Shiva. These include the sixty-four monistic Bhairava Tantras, the eighteen mono-dualistic Rūdra Tantras, and the ten dualistic Shiva Tantras. Its adherents also know this philosophical tradition as Trika.
