Shaiva Siddhanta

Shaiva Siddhanta is a traditional philosophy and spiritual practice within Hinduism that centers on devotion to Lord Shiva. It emphasizes the importance of grace, devotion (bhakti), and the soul’s journey toward liberation (moksha). Practitioners believe that Shiva is the supreme deity who guides the individual soul, and through rituals, prayers, meditation, and moral conduct, devotees seek union with him. The philosophy combines theological ideas with spiritual discipline, emphasizing the divine in everyday life and the importance of faith and devotion as pathways to ultimate realization.
