In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramMahāvyāpti (महाव्याप्ति) refers to the “great pervasion” (i.e., liberated state), 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, as Kumārī said: “[...] I am the Vaiṣṇavī and the power that is the cause of the universe’s persistence. (I am) Vaiṣṇavī, the five-fold energy; (I am) Viṣṇu’s essential nature (ātman) and the deity. (I am) Viṣṇu's seal (mudrā) within the Triangle and I am Viṣṇu’s form. (I am the goddess) whose face is the Yoni (bhagānanā), the Great Pervasion [i.e., mahāvyāpti], the effect and Viṣṇu’s instrument”.
Note: The Great Pervasion (mahāvyāpti) is the liberated state free of the confines of the body, space and time. Viṣṇu’s name, which is derived from the root viṣ, meaning ‘to pervade’, literally means ‘the pervasive one’.
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.
