What Is the Nature of Saivite Theology?

Saivism proclaims:
God Siva is Love, both immanent and transcendent, Both the creator and the creation. This world is the arena of our evolution, which leads by stages to moksha, liberation from birth and death.

Saivism is a unique religion in which God is both manifest and unmanifest, dual and nondual, within us and outside of us. It is not strictly pantheistic, polytheistic or monotheistic.

Its predominant theology is known as monistic theism, panentheism, or Advaita Isvaravada.

Monism, the opposite of dualism, is the doctrine that reality is a one whole or existence without independent parts.

Theism is belief in God and the Gods, both immanent and transcendent. Saivism is monistic in its belief in alone reality and in the advaitic, or nondual, identity of man with that reality. Saivism is theistic in its belief in the Gods, and in God Siva as a loving, personal Lord, immanent in the world.

Saivism expresses the oneness of Pati-pashu-pasha, God-soul-world, encompassing the nondual and the dual, faithfully carrying forth both Vedanta and Siddhanta, the pristine Sanatana Dharma of the Vedas and Saiva Agamas.

The Tirumantiram states, "Shuddha Saivas meditate on these as their religious path:Oneself, Absolute Reality and the Primal Soul; the categories three: God, soul and bonds; immaculate liberation and all that fetters the soul.
