In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Ākārī (आकारी) refers to “having a particular shape”, according to the Ṭīkā (commentary) on the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “[...] Most lovely, it is beautiful. It is the auspicious sacred seat called the sacred seat of the syllable OṂ and is governed by Oḍīśanātha. In what is it? (It is) in the upper circle. It is round (vartula-ākārī) like a wheel. The Lineage of the Eldest is located there. Who is the Lineage of the Eldest related to? It is (associated with) the venerable Vṛkṣanātha, the lineage of Ciñciṇīnātha and the Western House. This is the meaning. [...]”.
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.
