In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Kaulagajamardana (कौलगजमर्दन) or “crushing the Kaula elephant” is the name of a Sanskrit text possibly authored by Kāśīnātha.—Citing an article by Chakravarti, Gourdiaan and Gupta attribute the Kaulagajamardana to the seventeenth or eighteenth-century Kāśīnātha Bhaṭṭa 'Bhaḍa' (also known as Śivānandanātha). However, the colophon of the edition cited above says the author is Kṛṣṇānandācala, the principal student of Kailāsācalayati.
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.
