Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramJanmamaṇḍala (जन्ममण्डल) refers to the “sphere of birth”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—[...] The first of four forms of the Saṃvartāmaṇḍala is said to be located “above the Cavity of Brahmā” (Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā 2/5) while the commentary on the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā says that this is the Cavity of Brahmā [i.e., brahmarandhra] itself. According to the [Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā], the other three forms are located in the heart, below the navel and in the Wheel of the Foundation, that is, in the Sphere of Birth (janmamaṇḍala) in the genital region. The commentary locates them in the heart, the Wheel of the Foundation and the Transmission—Krama. [...] It is clear that the Saṃvartāmaṇḍala, Santānabhuvana and the triangular Yoni are in the same place and hence are essentially the same.
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.
