In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramRaudreśvarī (रौद्रेश्वरी) or Raudraraudreśvarī is associated with the final of the fourth phases of the Pīṭhakrama, according to the Mahānayaprakāśa verse 2.1-35, while explaining the cycles of the goddesses of consciousness.—Accordingly, “This (energy) is the Primordial Sacrifice, the (most) noble and profound plane (of reality). It is intent towards the plane of repose within one’s own nature, which is hard to grasp and free of obscuration. It is the wine of Kula (i.e. immanence) and Akula (transcendence) consisting of the flow of the Great Resonance (of consciousness), which is internal and full. It is the abiding condition (of the energy of consciousness) as the unity brought about by the purification of objectivity and the latent traces (of the previous phases) when (all) is being destroyed with great force in order to perform the supreme lustration. Thus the most excellent teachers consider (this Sacrifice) to be Raudraraudreśvarī. [...]”.
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.
