Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramJñānaparigraha (ज्ञानपरिग्रह) refers to the “pursuit of knowledge”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “(The disciple) should not leave the teacher’s family (kula) when the bliss of the Command arises (within himself) to (acquire) the power (sāmarthya) (of being a teacher in his own right) until he has generated (all his yogic and spiritual) qualities. During the day he should be intent on (carrying out the teacher’s) orders (preṣaṇa) and at night he should take up (the pursuit of) knowledge (jñānaparigraha). In this way he achieves all the power (sāmarthya) (he needs in his) teacher's family. He should not go anywhere unless he is sent there, nor should he do anything superfluous (ulbaṇa) or the like”.
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.
