Smarta Tradition
Smarta Sampradaya is a liberal or nonsectarian denomination of the Vedic Hindu religion which accepts all the major Hindu deities as forms of the one Brahman, in contrast to Vaishnavism, Shaivism, and Shaktism, the other three major Hindu sects, which revere Vishnu, Shiva, and Shakti, respectively, as the Supreme Being. The term Smarta refers to adherents who follow the Vedas and Shastras. Only a section of south Indian brahmins call themselves Smartas now. In Sanskrit, Smārta means "relating to memory, recorded in or based on the Smriti, based on tradition, prescribed or sanctioned by traditional law or usage,", from the root smr; smarana. Smarta is a vriddhi derivation of Smriti just as Śrauta is a vriddhi derivation of Śruti. The system they follow is referred to also as Srauta-Smartha as evidenced in the sankalpams they take during prayers. This joined reference srauta-smarta cannot be separated in the context of an orthodox smarta brahmin because he would be expected to follow the sruti and thereby the smritis derived from them.
