In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramDāsatva (दासत्व) refers to “being a servant”, according to the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] Anyone who has found a teacher like this is released from bondage. The disciple who has seen him should worship the teacher with all his feeling. [...] He should offer himself as his servant (dāsatva) and worship him, (offering) himself and (his) wealth, until the teacher is satisfied. When he is satisfied, he initiates the disciple and so his fetters are destroyed. [...]”.
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.
