Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramGurupāramparya (गुरुपारम्पर्य) or simply Pāramparya refers to the “tradition of the line of teachers”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “[...] He is himself the knower who is liberated and is the eternal (reality) at the End of Sound. In this way, O Lord, he should abandon delusion. That which is without parts is omnipresent. In the end (even) the intellect of all of those (who have attained this state) is destroyed (kṣīṇā) in (the reality) devoid of arising and abiding. There is nothing higher than this. There is nothing higher than the teacher’s Command. One should know this by means of the scripture (āgama) and (tradition of) the line of teachers [i.e. gurupāramparya]”.
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.
