Smarta

Smartism (or Smarta Sampradaya, Smarta Tradition, as termed in Sanskrit), a newly-coined term derived from the word smarta by the shaivite guru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, refers to a denomination of the Hindu religion. The term Smarta refers to adherents who follow the Vedas and Shastras. They mainly follow the Advaita Vedanta philosophy of Adi Shankara. But there have been instances when they have advocated or followed other philosophies.
