Paasupathopaasana: The individual entity (Jiva) is tied by the bond (paasa) of the qualities or modalities arising from nature. Pasupathi (Siva) is worshipped in order to earn freedom from Bondage.

Saakthopaasana: "Sarva Deva mayee Devee" - "Devee is all Gods". The Primeval Universal Energy, Aadi Paraa Sakthi, is conceived as the matrix of all forms of Divinity. The Cosmic Urge, the Prakrthi, is the cause of the variety and multiplicity of expression, the manifold forms. The Maheswara (Supreme Divinity) has this capacity to manifest and is therefore so named. Maheswara and Paraasakthi are two aspects of the same Force. This dual-faceted Force motivates the Universe, from the vast expanse of the sky to the entire earth. The unmanifest Supreme Person manifests as the Feminine Universal, the Maya, the Paraa-Sakthi. In each individual, it is experienced as knowledge, strength and activity.

Jainopaasana: (the Marwari community, in worshipping the Lord, adopt a Vaishnavite slant. Idols of Vishnu, with the traditional equipment of the Conch, the Wheel, the Mace and the Lotus, are found in Jain temples). The Jains have as their mantra:

Namo arihanthaanaam
Namo Siddhanaam
Namo ayiriyaanaam
Namo uvajjhayaanaam
Namo Loye sabba saahoonaam
meaning,
Salutations to the great heroes (Mahavira) who have conquered desire etc.,
Salutations to the Siddhas (those equipped with supernatural powers),
Salutations to the great Masters of Spiritual Wisdom,
Salutations to the great Teachers who transmit the wisdom,
Salutations to the good persons of all lands.
