In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (shaktism)Kāmasiddhi (कामसिद्धि) (or Kāmasiddhistuti) is the name of a text authored by King Vatsarāja and represents a pūjāstuti that guides its reciter through the mental or actual worship of the goddess Nityā.—The text is composed in the first person but the author does not name himself in the text. The text is named Vāmakeśvarīstuti and attributed to Mahārājādhirāja Vidyādharacakravartin Vatsarāja in the colophon of the sole palm-leaf manuscript [...]. However, the last verse of the text calls it Kāmeśvarīstuti and describes it using two adjectives, kāmasiddhi and atimaṅgalakāmadhenu. It is not unnatural, I think, to name this stuti using its first adjective.
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.
