Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramMahāpretāsana (महाप्रेतासन) refers to a “great ghost as a seat”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Śikhānātha should be worshipped in the middle on the Great Ghost as (his) seat [i.e., mahāpretāsana]. He bestows accomplishment (when this is done) with all one's being and with an intention free of thought. The essence of supreme bliss is considered to be the supreme state (bhāva) of the all-pervasive lord. The (liberated) state of flight arises by means of this Kramayoga.
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.
