In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Dharmātman (धर्मात्मन्) refers to one who is a “religious soul”.—The Pāśapatasūtra teaches that those who observer this vow may ‘wear one garment or be naked’. [...] That his way of life is the reverse of that of the worldly man is represented by his circumambulation of the sacred Liṅga he venerates in an anticlockwise direction. His vocation (dharma) is to live freely like a cow or a deer, eating what he is given as alms. He has conquered the senses and keeps himself clean and pure (śuci) by virtue of the water with which he bathes. He is a religious soul (dharmātman) who should recollect Rudra at all times and so finally attains union (sāyujya) with him.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
