Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramOlinī (ओलिनी) refers to a “lineage”, according to the second recension of the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, as the Goddess said to Bhairava: “By virtue of (your intense) desire to achieve (this) in (our) friendship, I have given (you) the accomplishment of the Command. [...] By virtue of the Command your name is this: Mitrānanda. And I, O god, am Vakrikā and I am always endowed with your (same) attributes. In the Western tradition worship takes place within the couple of me with you. From today onwards the lineage [i.e., olinī] worship of the couple (will be) along with me. You and I have the same essential nature, which is the immortal plane, free from decay. [...]”.
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.
