In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKukārāvidyā (कुकाराविद्या) refers to the “Vidyā of the goddess Kubjikā”, according to the Ṭīkā (commentary) on the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “[...] The venerable one called Ciñciṇīśa is that Śambhu by nature and is born from his own body as a subtle exertion. And what else is there? He should be worshipped along with the Kukārā Vidyā [kukārākhyayā vidyayā samanvitaṃ pūjayet]. This is the connection (between the words) with what was said before. [...]”.
Note: The Path of Meru [i.e., meruprastāra] is the source of the goddess’s scripture and, indeed, all her tradition. From here kukārāvidyā, that is, the Vidyā of the goddess Kubjikā, comes forth in the form of a garland of thirty-two letters (Cf. Yogakhaṇḍa verse 16.2abc).
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.
