In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramMaṇḍalodbhavā (मण्डलोद्भवा) refers to the “Goddess who comes forth as the maṇḍala”, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—All the phonemic mantras in the other Circles [of the khecarīcakra] are born from the body of the goddess who “comes forth as the maṇḍala (maṇḍalodbhavā)”. We have here, it seems, a precursor of the Triangle in the End of the Twelve. That too is surrounded by the three enclosures of Sun, Moon and Fire.
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.
