In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram峁岣峚sra (啶粪ぁ啶膏啶�) refers to 鈥渟ix spokes鈥�, according to the 峁峁璼膩hasrasa峁僪it膩, an expansion of the Kubjik膩matatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjik膩 cult.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥�(K膩mar奴pa) is the Neuter (absolute) within the qualities. It has emerged as the pervasion (of consciousness) and, in front of the middle seat, is located on the peak in front. (Pleasing and delicate) like a lotus petal, it is radiant (with energy) and grey in colour. It shakes with mighty and fierce currents (of energy) engaged in striking against (it) and rocking (it) all around as it dries up (the entire) universe. The all-pervasive Lord of Kula resides within (this), the ma峁囜笉ala of six spokes [i.e., 峁岣峚蝉谤补-尘补峁囜笉补濒补]. There is nothing devoid of that within the sphere of emanation and withdrawal鈥�.
Shakta (啶多ぞ啶曕啶�, 艣膩kta) or Shaktism (艣膩ktism) 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.
