Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramDravyavijñāna (द्रव्यविज्ञान) refers to “knowledge of (the Kaula sacrificial) substances”, according to the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “One who, having abandoned a teacher who is blissful and Command is radiant, goes to another, is obstructed everywhere, like a king who has lost his kingdom. He who maintains his body (pure), (guards his) knowledge of (the Kaula sacrificial) substances (dravyavijñāna), (looks after the) clothes and vehicles of his teacher is worthy of receiving initiation”.
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.
