In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram驰耻驳补苍腻迟丑补 (啶啶椸え啶距ぅ) refers to the 鈥渓egendary Kaula teachers鈥�, according to the Manth膩nabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjik膩.鈥擳he Kubjik膩 tradition maintains that the legendary Kaula teachers (测耻驳补苍腻迟丑补) were well versed in the Veda. As a Brahmin, Matsyendran膩tha, the legendary founder of Kaulism, could well have been. V峁沰峁n膩tha, the First Siddha who brought the Kubjik膩 cult to Ko峁卥a峁嘺 is said to have been a Brahmin versed in the four Vedas and initiated many other Vedic Brahmins like himself. The same claim is made for the four Siddhas of the sacred seats.
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.
