In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramJīvayukta (जीवयुक्त) refers to that which is “endowed with life”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—The first half of chapter four of the Kubjikāmatatantra is concerned with explaining what makes mantras effective—how, that is, to use the expression found there, they are “endowed with life” (jīvayukta) and so are successful. A part of the answer is that effective mantras are made of letters drawn from the Mālinī grid and others like it. [...] But although the actual form of a mantra may account for its effectiveness, its “life” is more essentially derived from the inner activity of the energy of the deity within the one who recites it.
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.
