In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramCandrānanda (चन्द्रानन्द) is the consort of Kāmeśvarī, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, as the Goddess (i.e., Kubjikā) said to Kāmeśvarī: “[...] Out of compassion, the manifold form of passion (kāmarūpa) has been fashioned before me. And so this will indeed be Kāmarūpa (the Form of Passion), the great sacred seat and your sacrificial rite. When the Age of Strife (kaliyuga) comes your consort (pati) (will be) Candrānanda. Candrānanda is seated on the shoulders of the Wind and illumines the nature of the Self (ātmabheda). He is the lord (nātha) who knows all things (aśeṣārtha). Omniscient, he is the Supreme Lord (parameśvara). O passionate one (kāmikā), he will be the Lord of Love and a lover for you”.
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.
