Vaishnavisme

Vaishnavisme (van Sanskrit वैष्णव Vaiṣṇava, "wat tot Vishnu behoort") is een van die vier groot tradisies in Hindoeïsme; die ander is Shaivisme, Shaktisme en Smartisme. Dit word ook Vishnuïsme of Wisjnoeïsme genoem, en die volgelinge daarvan Vishnuïste of Wisjnoeïste; hulle beskou Vishnu as die oppergod.^[1]^[2]
