Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramHrīṃ (ह्रीं) refers to a seed-syllable (bīja) associated with Māyā and Lakṣmī, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—HRĪṂ is the seed-syllable of Māyā and Lakṣmī. It belongs to Viṣṇu and corresponds to the element Water. Its form is like a wheel of fire (alātacakra). According to the Śrīmatottara it is the heart of the rays of the light of the deity. It attracts all things towards itself and gives the power to control others, poetic genius, and the power to hear at a great distance. It serves as an antidote to poison and arouses the body and mind (purakṣobha). It performs many wonders for the man who keeps it in his heart. There is no realisation (pratyaya) without it. The Kubjikāmatatantra also attributes magical powers to the Five Praṇavas, which are said to bring about sexual arousal (drāvaṇa), disturbance (kṣobha), delusion (moha), sleep (jṛmbhana) and the desiccation of the enemy’s body (śoṣaṇa), respectively.
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.
