In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramPañcaratna (पञ्चरत्न) refers to the “five jewels”, 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, “Kula has arisen from Akula and that (Kula) is praised as Bhairava. Therefore the goddess is eight-fold and so also Kula is the eight groups of eight (Yoginīs and Bhairavas). She is called the Energy of Gesture and, present in all things, she is (herself) the tradition. One should know that the Family is the Śrīmata and that the Clan is Bhairava. The extent is the Five Jewels (pañcaratna), while the Transmission is said to be the Śrīmata. My modality is at the extremity of the End of the Twelve, beyond that is the Void of Kuṇḍalinī”.
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.
