In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramDyotakatva (द्योतकत्व) refers to “luminosity”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “Now Aparā will be explained: (Her sport) is the play of the Great Yoga. What is the Great Yoga? This Great Yoga takes place by the checking of the fluctuations of the mind. Through it one perceives the essential nature of (Śiva who is) consciousness. Aparā is Illumination (bhāsā) and (her) sphere (is all the universe) from Śiva to the earth. She who pervades the universe from Śiva up to the earth as she does the circle of the sun and the constellations is Aparā. In the same way she is the luminosity (dyotakatva) of the triangle that faces upwards. [...]”.
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.
