Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKubjinīpada (कुब्जिनीपद) refers to “Kubjinī’s abode”, according to the commentary on the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] All this is (right) in the centre of the causal Fire and is pervaded by (the Yoni). That is said to be the supreme part (pada i.e. syllable) within which all the parts are present. That part is clearly attained by the division of the sixteen syllables. The first group of four generates the unfailing Command. The second group of four leads to Kubjinī’s abode [i.e., kubjinīpada]. The third one is called the Vidyā of Power (śakti) and leads to that most excellent abode. The fourth attains the abode which is the Divine Current and (this cannot be attained) in any other way”.
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.
