In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramNiravadhi (निरवधि) refers to “endless”, 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, “I salute Lord Bhairava, the treasury of many kinds of (divine) qualities, the one cause of (all that is) seen and unseen. In the beginning the pure Kramakula came forth from him and there all things dissolve away. All the endless creation [i.e., niravadhi-racana], beginning from the cause up to the fire (that burns the worlds), depends on him. He who has authority over all forms and pure, is the greatest of teachers, is the subtle, venerable Kulālīśa”.
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.
