In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKadambavṛtti (कदम्बवृत्ति) refers to the “motion 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’ (kadambabhrama-maṇḍala) 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.
