In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramYoginīhṛdaya (योगिनीहृदय) refers to the “heart of the Yoginī” according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “[...] (4) One should think of the Wheel of Unstruck Sound above that (in the heart) as white and red. In the middle of that is the Great Sound (mahārāva), the most excellent Heart of the Yoginī [i.e., yoginīhṛdaya-uttama], which is said to be dark blue, and red. [...] (Perfect) contemplation (samādhi) is with (these) sixteen aspects and is (attained) within the form of the sixfold deposition (ṣoḍhānyāsa). He who knows this is (a veritable) Lord of Yogis, the others (who do not) are (just) quoting from books. Once attained the plane that is Void and Non-void, the yogi is freed from bondage”.
Source: Google Books: The Yoginihrdaya, a Sanskrit Tantric TreatiseYoginīhṛdaya (योगिनीहृदय) (“the heart of the Yoginī”), rates among the principal works of Tantric Hinduism.—the Yoginīhṛdaya is a very typical text of Tantric Hinduism and embodies archetypal characteristics. As is often the case in such works, its esoteric teaching is expounded in a dialogue between two deities, the Goddess Tripurasundarī (or Mahātripurasundarī), “The Beautiful [Mistress] of the Three Cities” (or “Fortresses”)—of the three worlds, that is—who questions, and the god Bhairava, a fearsome form of Śiva, who answers her in the form of these teachings.
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.
