It is not strictly pantheistic, polytheistic or monotheistic. Its predominant theology is known as mon\u00adistic theism, panentheism, or Advaita \u012a\u015bvarav\u0101da. Mon\u00adism, the op\u00adpo\u00adsite of dualism, is the doctrine that reality is a one whole or existence with\u00adout in\u00addependent parts. Theism is belief in God and the Gods, both im\u00adma\u00adnent and transcendent. \u015aaivism is mon\u00ad\u00ad\u00adistic in its be\u00adlief in a one reality and in the ad\u00advaitic, or nondual, identity of man with that reality. \u015aai\u00advism is theistic in its belief in the Gods, and in God \u015aiva as a loving, personal Lord, immanent in the world. \u015aaivism expresses the one\u00adness of Pati-pa\u015bu-p\u0101\u015ba, God-soul-world, en\u00adcom\u00adpassing the non\u00addual and the dual, faith\u00adfully carrying forth both Ved\u0101nta and Siddh\u0101nta, the pristine San\u0101tana Dharma of the Vedas and \u015aaiva \u0100gamas. The Tirumantiram states, \u201c\u015aud\u00ad\u00addha \u015aaivas meditate on these as their religious path: One\u00adself, Absolute Reality and the Primal Soul; the categories three: God, soul and bonds; immaculate liberation and all that fetters the soul.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is the Nature of \u015aaivite Theology? \u015aLOKA 11\u015aaivism proclaims: God \u015aiva is Love, both immanent and transcendent, both the creator and the creation.
