In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Jhiṇṭhīśa (झिण्ठीश) refers to one of the Nine Nāthas according to the Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka: a derative text drawing from Tantras and other sources such as the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā.—The Nine Nāthas propagated the Western Transmission noted in the Kubjikā Tantras. Although each Siddha has a consort with which he shares some part of his spiritual discipline, she is not considered to be his wife. Thus, from the perspective of his identity as an initiate, he is not a householder.—Jhiṇṭhīśa is the Caryā name of this Nātha (i.e., the public name the Siddha uses when living as a wandering renouncer). He is associated with the following: Birth place: Kāśmīra; Caste: Śūdra; Name at birth: Sehila; Kīrtināma (famed names): Unmanānanda, Vīraśāntideva, Laghuprabodhadeva; Secret name: Sahajānanda; Pūjā name: Rāmānanda; Consort: Śivāmbā, Rāmāmbā.
The Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka describes the extraordinary events that inspired his “famed names”: Sehila was called Unmanānandanātha from when he attained the power of the Lord of the Transmental (unmanīśa). He was called Vīraśanideva because he contemplated all that is one on the plane of the heroes. He was called Laghuprabodhadeva because he awakened Buddhists.
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.
