Vishnouisme
Le vishnouisme (vaishnavisme) est un courant de l'hindouisme basé sur le système philosophique et religieux du Védanta. Sa pratique est la dévotion (bhakti) envers Vishnou comme Dieu suprême en tant que tel ou à travers ses incarnations Krishna et Rāma. C'est l'une des plus importantes expressions spirituelles de l'hindouisme avec le shivaïsme. Le nom des dévots de la divinité, les vishnouites, est vaishnava (vaiṣṇava en sanskrit ; devanāgarī : वैष्णव), mais il désigne aussi toute chose en relation avec elle.
