In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramBālāvvā (बालाव्वा) refers to the “mother of the child”.—[...] One would expect the first in order of presentation to be that of the Transmission of the Eldest, which as its name suggests, was the first to be transmitted in mythical time. [...] The goddess emerges, as it were, out of the Night of the unmanifest, supreme state and progressively ages, step by step, as does the sun through the day, from childhood, to youth and then old age, when she returns to her original condition. So the first Transmision is that of the Child that takes place at dawn and is presided over by the Mother of the Child (bālāvvā). The second takes place at midday and is that of the Youth and the last, that of the Aged, arises at sunset.
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.
