In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramŚāmbhavyājñā (शाम्भव्याज्ञा) refers to the “Goddess’ command”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—The goddess is said to have attained the supreme state of Nirvāṇa and, with it, the authority to impart the Command [i.e., ājñā] to her male counterpart because she observed and maintained the Command the god gave her. Indeed, she herself, as the Transmental, has come forth from that Command (śāmbhavājñā). [...] Once the goddess has it, it is no longer Śiva’s Command (śāmbhavājñā). It is hers (śāmbhavyājñā) and so the god must strive to get it from her, even though the empowering Command she gives to the god is the one she has received from him.
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.
