Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): (shaktism)Śivānandanātha (शिवानन्दनाथ) is possibly the author of the 17th century Kaulagajamardana (“crushing the Kaula elephant”) authored by Kāśīnātha or Kṛṣṇānandācala.—Citing an article by Chakravarti, Gourdiaan and Gupta attribute the Kaulagajamardana to the seventeenth or eighteenth-century Kāśīnātha Bhaṭṭa 'Bhaḍa' (also known as Śivānandanātha). However, the colophon of the edition cited above says the author is Kṛṣṇānandācala, the principal student of Kailāsācalayati.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
