In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramĀjñānanda (आज्ञानन्द) (Cf. Tritrika) refers to the “bliss of the command”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—[...] The one Transmission is the Triple Thorn. (Thus) the triple Śrīkrama has been explained. (The wise) know it to be the triple Transmission of the Lineages. Just as the three lineages are characterized in this way, similarly there are three types of Yogis and the god who manifests as the teacher in these three lineages is visualized in three forms corresponding to the Āṇava, Śākta and Śāmbhava modalities. Analogously, the Ṭīkā classifies the three Transmissions into these three and adds a fourth called the ‘Desireless’ (nirīha) and the Transmission of the Bliss of the Command (ājñānandakrama), which is that of the Divine Current of the eighteen Nāthas.
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.
