Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKāryanirata (कार्यनिरत) refers to “one who is dedicated to a certain task” [?], according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, “[...] Śāmbhavī is said to be the state that is generated having contemplated the lotus feet of the venerable teacher above one’s head. (It arises) for one who, by seeing the form of the teacher, (becomes profoundly tranquil and so) thinks of nothing. Śāmbhava is (the type of) penetration (āveśa) that will arise for one who is intent on the meditation that follows on from that (tadanudhyāna) and is dedicated to that task [i.e., kāryanirata]. (In other words, it happens) to the (disciple) who (experiences) the (state of) meditation even though (he is) distant (from his teacher who has) induced (his practice) by that (gracious) look (prekṣaṇā)”.
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.
