Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKhyāta (ख्यात) refers to “known” (i.e., that which is ‘known’ as), according to the Ciñcinīmatasārasamuccaya verse 4.27-29.—Accordingly, “The essential nature of the individual soul (aṇu) is the Self that has been supremely infused with the power of consciousness. It is present in the branches of the Kula (i.e. the body) in association with the various supports (ādhārabheda). O goddess, one place and another bring each other to rest. Contemplated by (direct) experience, (each is of) a separate kind (and each bestows) a separate accomplishment. O goddess, I have explained that which is known as Āṇava [i.e., khyāta āṇavaṃ]”.
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.
