Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramLaulya (लौल्य) refers to one who “suffer from greed”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—When the disciple is given the first initiation he is told a number of rules, both prohibitions and injunctions, that he must observe. [...] The Command and its operation are intimately related to this. The Tantra unambiguously admonishes that: “One who desires success (should not suffer from) greed, delusion or craving. He should not disobey (the teacher’s) Command, (or be) haughty, suffer from greed (laulya) or be attached to the objects of sense”.
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.
