Shaivisme
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shaivisme (van Sanskrit शैव Śaiva, "wat tot Shiva behoort") is een van die vier groot tradisies in Hindoeïsme; die ander is Vaishnavisme, Shaktisme en Smartisme. Dit word ook Shivaïsme of Sjiwaïsme genoem, en die volgelinge daarvan Shivaïste of Sjiwaïste; hulle beskou Shiva as die oppergod of sy bosinnelike konsep van brahman.[1][2]
