In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKadambabhramamaṇḍala (कदम्बभ्रममण्डल) refers to the “sphere of the rotation of the ecliptic”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Note: As the earth is tilted on its axis, it moves to and fro in a spiral-like—ecliptic-movement as it rotates. The area in which the pole of the ecliptic moves is called ‘the sphere of the rotation of the ecliptic’ (kadambabhramamaṇḍala) and its spiral, circular motion that of the ecliptic (kadambavṛtti). This then is a mixed metaphor that serves to reconcile the immobile, stillness (nirācāra) of the Tree and the dynamism of the Point (bindu) in the centre of the maṇḍala and the Wheels, which like them is a perpetually rotating sphere.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
