In Hinduism

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Ājñābhaṅga (आज्ञाभङ्ग) means to “contravene the command” (viz., when a disciple disobeys the teacher’s command).—The Niḥśvāsatattvasaṃhitā explains that all mantras are under the teacher’s control and carry out his command [i.e., ājñā]. One should never disobey the teacher’s command or that of the deity but must respect and venerate it as the Kula scripture. The Kaula consort in the same way follows the teacher’s command. To contravene the command (guru-ājñābhaṅga) is a very great sin. Due to that the disciple looses the power of the command (ājñāhāni). Just as the mantras a bad disciple utters are averse to him, similarly the command he received from his teacher looses it radiance.
