In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramĀdibhairava (आदिभैरव) refers to “the first Bhairava”, according to the second recension of the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “[...] Then he became Bhairava, the abode of blood, in the sacrifice. (Thus) Bhairava bore the form of Sadyojāta (sadyarūpa—the Immediately Born). (He was) Sadyanātha, the first (ādi) Bhairava [i.e., ādibhairava] in the lineage of Siddhas beginning with Sadya. He acquired the conventional name ‘Mitra’ and was then Bhairava of the divine Command. He was freed from the fetters of Karma and the Kaula Command was set into operation”.
Shakta (शाक्त, 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.
