Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramVratarata (व्रतरत) refers to “being intent on (the practice of) vow”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly: “[...] Having seen and conceived (my) own Śakti and become blissful (thereby), (my) radiance, consisting of (both) Kula and Akula, is the fire offering of divine energy which is Akula that has gone forth (projected out from the) Bliss (of our union) along the Path of the Void. (Thus) Mitranātha, whose qualities resemble mine, and is (my) incarnation, attained birth (here) below. His Śakti is beyond measure and intent on (the practice of) vow (vrataratā) and discipline, her body is born of the (primal, universal) cause”.
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.
