In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramAvvāgṛha (अव्वागृह) refers to the “house of the mother”.—According to the Kaulajñānanirṇaya, the Kaula teachings are found in the house of every Yoginī in Kāmarūpa. Similarly, in our text we read that the goddess’s maṇḍala, which is the sacred seat of Yoga, is in every Yoginī’s house. Indeed, wherever the goddess resides, in whatever form, is the House of the Mother (avvāgṛha, mātrīgṛha), her sacred temple to which the Siddha travels with devotion to generate his spiritual lineage in every Age.
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.
