In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramParamadvaita (परमद्वैत) refers to “supreme non-dualism”.—The Śiva principle, according to Aghoraśiva, is the “substance” (upādāna) of all the principles and as such identifies it with Mahāmāyā rather than Prakṛti, which is hardly the twenty-fifth principle out of the thirty-six. This, according to him, is Bindu, which, through a series of permutations, assumes the form of all the other principles, the first of which is that of Śakti, which he identifies with Sound (nāda). So, Aghoraśiva traveling by a very different path arrives at the same identification of Bindu with the goddess and this too via a transformation of gender. The reason for this is that from the perspective of the “supreme non-dualism” (paramadvaita) of the Kubjikā Tantras, the Goddess is the energy and substance of emanation (sṛṣṭi). [...]
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
