In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantramṃh岹śԲ (सिंहदर्श�) refers to the “teaching of the Lion�.—[...] , like Kubjikā, is said to be a lioness. This is because these goddesses are the leaders (⾱) of a Kula tradition (峾ⲹ) each of which is said to be a ‘teaching of the Lion� (ṃh岹śԲ) as they are all based on the transmission of the Command which takes place by means of the teacher's empowering gaze, as fierce and powerful as that of a lion (ṃh屹ǰ첹Բ).
Kaula Tantric systems are, in general, termed 岹śԲ, but more specifically they are Lion Darśanas (ṃh岹śԲ). Kubjikā is regularly said to be mounted on a lion (ṃh). In this respect, Kubjikā’s model is not so much the Yoginī as the Great Goddess Durgā mounted on a lion. [...] Kubjikā is closely linked to the lion. Indeed, it is the ‘tradition or lineage of the lion� (ṃhkānvaya, siṃh峾ⲹ). Analogous expressions such as the Teaching of the Lion (ṃhśāsana) and ṃh岹śԲ refer implicitly to an important practice of this school whereby spiritual energy is transmitted to deities and other supernatural and living beings as well as objects. This is the Lion's Gaze. The Lion's Gaze is the empowering and gracious gaze that energizes the ṇḍ with its divine beings and mantras.

Shakta (शाक्�, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) 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.
