In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramMūlapīṭha (मूलपीठ) refers to the “main sacred seat” (i.e., Oḍḍiyāṇa), according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] The group of four seats out of the group of six seats is (their) essence. However, in order to be able to bring them together collectively, the seat Oḍḍiyāṇa is in the middle of the three and, its nature Bhairavī, pervades (them): (as such, it) is the one main sacred seat (mūlapīṭha). The main sacred seat is the source (yoni) (and aggregate of all of them together in a potential form). The sacred seats have arisen from its presence, that is, from the will with the three seats, that is Kāmarūpa, Pūrṇagiri and Jālandhara in the grid. [...]”.
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.
