In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramSvatantratā (स्वतन्त्रता) refers to “having one’s own freedom”, according to the Ambāmatasaṃhitā verse 8.80-85ab.—Accordingly, “[...] And the secret teaching which is the practice of the three lineages has arisen (in this way). By means of the teaching of contemplative absorption, the bliss of the Tree (Navātman) is active. Śrīnātha has the form of Bhairava and his will is freedom (svatantratā). That (freedom) is Śakti (the Transmental) in the form of a key which opens the lock (of the door of the Cavity of Brahmā). [...]”.
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 to German]
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.
