Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Shodhganga: Saudarya Lahari of Sri Sankara A StudyKriyÄparÄ (कà¥à¤°à¤¿à¤¯à¤¾à¤ªà¤°à¤�) refers to one of the 64 rays of the Ä€jñÄ-Cakra which (together with the 72 rays of the ViÅ›uddhi) are associated with the lunar plane called Brahmagranthi, according to Åšaá¹…karÄcÄrya’s SaudaryalaharÄ«.—Accordingly, the Goddess is visualised (by SÄdhaka) as dwelling above the six Ä€dhÄracakras ruling over the 360 rays which emanate in them [e.g., KriyÄparÄ]. These 360 rays represent 360 syllables (i.e., a consummation of the Å›²¹²ú»å²¹±è°ù²¹±è²¹Ã±³¦²¹ or 50 alphabets) as well as the principles of nature. For the 360 syllables, together with ³ó²¹á¹� and ²õ²¹á¸�, NyÄsa should be performed for ÅšrÄ«cakrapÅ«jÄ.

Shakta (शाकà¥à¤�, Å›Äkta) or Shaktism (Å›Äktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
