Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramĀcāramelaka (आचारमेलक) refers to the “members of the congregation of the practice (of the rule)”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “O goddess, when the Kali Age began, Mīnīśa, (also) called Oḍḍīśa, sealed all the Krama and then took and observed a vow of silence. The members of the congregation of the Practice of the Rule (samaya-ācāramelaka) belonging to the Kula tradition that were (thus) sealed all came at the end of the cosmic age and, even though they were of three kinds (i.e. belonged to the three preceding Ages), they all meet together in one place”.
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.
