It pierces through a fettered soul at a distance of 100 leagues in an instant. It is liberation itself attained by initiation into the transmission (kramadīkṣā), that is, the consecration of the Command. Initially it spreads to the sacred seats where the Siddhas who propagate the three transmissions reside. This process is symbolized by the triangle in the centre of the maṇḍala that represents the goddess’s Yoni, which is said to be “threefold, divided by the three traditions”. [...]
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.
