In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramIcchārūpa (इच्छारूप) refers to “(one who bears the) form of the will”, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Referring to the inner space within the triangular Yoni, the Śrīmatottara says: “O fair lady, thus Śrīnātha sports in the Circle of the Void (śūnyamaṇḍala) and (so does) Kubjikā, the mother of Kula who is Kuṇḍalī by name. She is the will [i.e., icchārūpa-dharā], the goddess who is Mind Beyond Mind (manonmanī) and her form is the Point (bindurūpā). That energy is called Sahajā (the Innate) and is (the state of) oneness with Śiva”.
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.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraIcchārūpa (इच्छारूप) refers to “having the nature of will”, according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 22.17cd-18]—“By means of that [saḥ], she [śakti] is constantly full, [she is] the full oblation. He is known as Śiva, the holder of power, who acts through her. Namely, [she is] the one supreme Śakti, whose nature is will, knowledge, and action (icchārūpa—icchājñānakriyārūpā sā caikā). [She] arises spontaneously [and her] utterance is automatic. [She] exists in one’s very nature, is one’s very nature , and is self-arisen”.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
