In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Cidrūpāmbā (चिद्रूपाम्बा) refers to one of the Consorts of Bhairavīśa: one of the Nine Nāthas according to the Kulakaulinīmata.—The Nine Nāthas propagated the Western Transmission noted in the Kubjikā Tantras. Although each Siddha has a consort with which he shares some part of his spiritual discipline, she is not considered to be his wife. Thus, from the perspective of his identity as an initiate, he is not a householder.—Bhairavīśa is the Caryā name of this Nātha (i.e., the public name the Siddha uses when living as a wandering renouncer). His consorts are Ṣaṣṭhā and Cidrūpāmbā [Alternatively according to the Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka, Gaganāmbā and Candrāmbā].
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.
