Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramOvalli (ओवल्लि) or Ovalli is another name for Oli (lineage).—The term ‘oli’ appears in the Kulakaulinīmata, Śrīmatottara and Kularatnoddyota. Other forms of the word include olika, uli, ulika and auli. The term ovalli is not found in the Kumārikākhaṇḍa even though oli/uli is very frequent. It is found several times in the Ṭīkā with reference to the Three Lineages. In one place the alternation between the two spellings oli and uli is clear as is that between the two forms oli/ovalli. In places we find the spelling ovali instead of ovalli. It appears that the two words have a common derivation: ovalli > ovali > oli (> uli). The Prākṛta forms appear to confirm this. The Deśīnāmamālā supplies the following simple definition:—“olī is a lineage”
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.
