In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramNiraṅga (निरङ्ग) refers to “that which is without parts”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “[...] He is himself the knower who is liberated and is the eternal (reality) at the End of Sound. In this way, O Lord, he should abandon delusion. That which is without parts [i.e., niraṅga] is omnipresent. In the end (even) the intellect of all of those (who have attained this state) is destroyed (kṣīṇā) in (the reality) devoid of arising and abiding. There is nothing higher than this. There is nothing higher than the teacher's Command. One should know this by means of the scripture (āgama) and (tradition of) the line of teachers”.
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.
