Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramĀjñākrama (आज्ञाक्रम) refers to the “transmission of the command”.—The Western Tradition (paścimāmnāya), according to the Ciñcinīmatasārasamuccaya, is the Transmission of the Command (ājñākrama). The energy of the Command expands out into the other Traditions from this one, which thus gives them life and vitality. As it is the source of the other traditions it is called the Tradition of Birth (janmāmnāya) “which is endowed with (all) four Houses”. [...] The Nityāṣoḍaśikārṇava refers to the goddess as “the treasure chest of the fourfold Command”. According to the commentators these are the four Kaula traditions. Like Kubjikā’s tradition, all of them are a “transmission of the command” (ājñākrama) collectively identified with the goddess Tripurā. It is this that makes the deity supreme.
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.
