In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramLiṅgasvarūpiṇī (लिङ्गस्वरूपिणी) refers to “one who is Liṅga by nature”.—According to Bonazzoli, “At all levels—iconographic, cultic, philosophical, literary, mythical—Liṅga and Devī have often been directly connected and interrelated. [...] Devī is viśvasya bījam [the seed of the universe], like Śiva and together with Śiva she is the cause of all the Śiva Liṅgas in heaven, on earth and in the underworld. Devī can be represented by a Liṅga because she stands there [i.e. is present within it]—liṅgasthā—and she is Liṅga by nature—liṅgasvarūpiṇī. The identification seems perfect”.
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.
