In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAmṛtavarṣiṇī (अमृतवर्षिणी) (Cf. Amṛtavāhinī) refers to “rains of nectar”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “[...] (13) Above that is the one called the Pervasive (vyāpinī) who rains down supreme nectar [i.e., amṛtavarṣiṇī]. One should contemplate (that) supreme bliss as the state of the (unity of) the pervader of (the universe) and that which is the pervaded. Mounted on radiant energy (tejas), its radiance is like that of a hundred suns. [...] (Perfect) contemplation (samādhi) is with (these) sixteen aspects and is (attained) within the form of the sixfold deposition (ṣoḍhānyāsa). He who knows this is (a veritable) Lord of Yogis, the others (who do not) are (just) quoting from books. Once attained the plane that is Void and Non-void, the yogi is freed from bondage”.
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.
