Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAnāhatatattva (अनाहततत्त्व) refers to the “principle of unstruck sound”, representing one of the “sixteen stations of the ascent of kuṇḍalinī” ,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, “[...] (9) Above that is the principle of Unstruck Sound [i.e., anāhatatattva—anāhataṃ tattvaṃ]; the head of ‘A’ (aśira), it is omnipresent. Like (the sound of a) mad bee, that is said to be lucid meditation. [...] (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.
