In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKulakaulinī (कुलकौलिनी) is another name for the Goddess (i.e., Kubjikā), according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Throughout the text, it is mostly the Goddess who speaks, responding to the questions the god asks her. Her speeches are generally introduced with the standard expression ‘(the goddess) Vakrā said (vakrovāca)’ or sometimes—‘(the goddess) Kubjikā said (kubjikovāca)’. In a few places Kaulinī speaks. She is, in other words, the goddess herself, not an emanation or a particular form of her. Accordingly the Gāyatrī of the goddess Kubjikā refers to her as Kulakaulinī and Mahākaulinī
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.
