In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: Pure Bhakti: Jaiva-dharmaAnukūlyābhilāṣa (अनुकूल्याभिलाष) refers to “the desire of doing that which is favorable” and represents one the three types of desire (i.e., Abhilāṣa or Ruci)—If prema is compared to the sun, bhāva can be compared to a ray of the sun. The constitutional nature of bhāva is that it is a ray of the sun of prema, and its unique characteristic is that it purifies the heart of the jīva and thus causes the heart to become softened or melted. The word ruci signifies three desires. These are, e.g., (2) the desire to do that which is favorable for Kṛṣṇa’s pleasure (anukūlyābhilāṣa ).
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
