In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramJñapti (ज्ञप्ति) refers to “insight”, according to the Kularatnapañcakāvatāra verse 1.16-23ab.—Accordingly, “The dispassion that is in the state of ‘I’ and ‘mine’ should (exert itself to) control fettered existence. The one called ‘spontaneous’ is free of ‘I’ and ‘mine’ and its attribute is insight (jñapti). One who is spontaneously dispassionate is certainly not obstructed (in his quest) even though he enjoys the objects of the senses. [...]”.
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.
