In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramNityākālī (नित्याकाली) is the name of a Nityā (Deity), according to the Jayadrathayāmala verse 4.35.9-14.—Accordingly, “I see none who is her equal in the very powerful Vidyāpīṭha. She causes the women of the gods to melt (with passion). She is the deluding one even amongst the gods. One should worship her, Kṛśodarī, in the middle of (the Yoni which is) the lotus of the triangle. She is beautifully thin. She has one face and three eyes (that burn) like fire. She is fierce and holds a noose and goad and there are five arrows in her upraised hands. ‘Delusion’, ‘desiccation’, ‘melting’, ‘wetting’ and ‘arousal’—these are the five arrows she should hold in (her) hand. One should think about the powerful Nityā Kālī [i.e., Nityākālī], the wealth of the universe (in this way)”.
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.
