In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramĀtmarūpatā (आत्मरूपता) refers to “she who abides in the form of the self”, according to the commentary (vyākyā) on the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “(The goddess) abides in many states of being up to the location of the void (vyoman) of the End of the Twelve, within which she causes nectar to fall if she is there in the form of the Self [i.e., ātmarūpatā]. Thus she ‘resides in the midst of the ocean of nectar’. What is nectar? It is the juice of the Void (vyomarasa). Thus she is Mālinī of the Void. She abides (there) having pervaded the Void. What does she do there? How does she abide? 'Established in movement (cāra), she is the one who impels (its) motion'. She abides in the movement and she transports it”.
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.
