In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAdhyātmaśarīra (अध्यात्मशरीर) refers to the “inner body”, according to the Kramasūtrādhikāra: an independent Kubjikā Tantra, forming part of a larger scriptural corpus of the Kubjikā’s cult.—Only two manuscripts of the Kramasūtrādhikāra have been recovered. It consists of just four chapters (paṭala). The colophons ascribe it to the “first descent of scripture” which, like the Siddhapañcāśikā, has come from the Island of the Moon. [...] The second chapter is ‘the teaching concerning the inner body’ (adhyātmaśarīra-nirṇaya). As before, in consonance with the Six Kulas, the six parts of the Krama are projected into the Six Wheels. In this case the Krama consists of twenty-seven parts (4-5-6-4-5-3).2
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.
