Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Kāmaru (कामरु) is the original name of the sacred place Kāmarūpa.—The Sanskritized form ‘Kāmarūpa’ is easily derivable from it. This place is of great importance for the early Śākta, that is, Kaula Tantras and the strongly Śākta orientated Bhairava Tantras. This is largely because of its association with Matsyendranātha, the reputed originator of the Kaula teachings and therefore, by extension, all the Kaula Tantric traditions, including those of Kubjikā, Tripurā and Kālī. The many Kaula traditions that link this site with such an important figure and its persistent identification with Kāmākhya (modern Gauhati) in Assam lend credibility to the correctness of this identification.
