In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsHṛdyāga (हृद्याग) refers to “inner worship”, according to the Brahmayāmala-tantra (or Picumata), an early 7th century Śaiva text consisting of twelve-thousand verses.—[...] [Cf. svayāga] In the obligatory daily worship (nityakarman) and much other ritual, inner worship (hṛdyāga) of this specific pantheon forms the standard preliminary to bahirnyāsa, the act of installing the mantra-syllables upon the body or another substratum, whether the fire pit, ritual vessel, or icon. Applications of mantra-deity pantheons not based upon the Nine-Syllable Vidyā also follow this alternating pattern of inner and outer ritual.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: A History of Indian Philosophy (pancaratra)Hṛdyāga (हृद्याग) or Ātmasamarpaṇa refers to “self-offering”, according to the Ahirbudhnya-saṃhitā 30.4-5.—Two ways for the attainment of the highest reality are described in the Ahirbudhnya—1) one is that of self-offering or self-abnegation (ātmasamarpaṇa or hṛdyāga) through the meditation on the highest in the form of some of His powers, as this and that specific deity, by the practice of the mantras; 2) and the other is that of the yoga. Ahirbudhnya, however, concentrates its teachings on the former, and mentions the latter in only one of its chapters.
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
