Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramNīlajīmūta (नीलजीमूत) refers to a “blue lightning flash”, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, [while describing the visualized form of Navātman Bhairava]: “[...] Navātman’s mind is blissful with his own energy and he is delighted by the bliss of (spiritual) wine. [...] One should think that the weapon, which is the terrible Fire of Time, is licking up and destroying (all things with its flames). (Powerful) like a blue lightning flash (nīlajīmūta), it is energized by the fire of (universal) destruction. [...]”.
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.
