In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramDivyagarva (दिव्यगर्व) refers to “divine pride”.—[...] The affirmation for ritual purposes of one's own identity with the deity inevitably entails the positive affirmation of the ego as being ‘I am Śiva’ or the like. The principle that the offering made to the deity must come from deity, not a profane mortal, is so well accepted that the Buddhist Vajrayāna, although basically atheist as all Buddhist traditions are, accommodates it. The deity is visualized as emanating from its sonic form that emerges from the Void. Then the worshipper must similarly identify himself with it by developing what the Vajrayāna Tantras term ‘divine pride’ (divyagarva).
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.
