In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramNirañjaka (निरञ्जक) refers to the “stainless reality”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—[...] Consciousness (caitanya) is said to be (of three kinds) gross, very subtle and Unstruck Sound. These three conditions are, presumably, Āṇava, Śākta and Śāmbhava which correspond to the three—Māyā, Mahāmāyā and Beyond Māyā, respectively. The first extends from Earth up to the Equal One (samanā); the second is the Transmental ‘with parts’ (sakala). The third is the pure transcendent. The first is embedded in the second. Thus we read just after this passage: “In terms of emanation, the stainless reality (nirañjaka) possesses six parts (ṣaṭprakāra) within the Transmental”.
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.
