In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Nayasūtra (नयसूत्र) refers to one of the five books of the Niśvāsa (or Niśvāsatattvasaṃhitā), which probably represents the oldest surviving tantric Śaiva scripture (as early as the fifth century C.E.).—The most fascinating material is present in the Niśvāsa’s treatment of cosmology (i.e., cosmogony and cosmography)—subjects expounded in a variety of contexts, especially those of initiation—and to the origins of mantra, scripture, and language. [...] The scripture’s five books were composed in the following chronological order: 1) Mūlasūtra, 2) Uttarasūtra, 3) Nayasūtra, 4) Guhyasūtra, 5) Mukhāgama.
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.
