In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramParikṣīṇa (परिक्षीण) refers to “being free of (perception and its object)”, according to the Ciñcinīmatasārasamuccaya verse 3.4cd-6ab.—Accordingly, “The radiant (saṃsphura) Western House is pervaded by ‘pure liberation’. It is the Void that flows with the pulsation of the aesthetic flavour of the Touch of the Unpenetrated. It is the great waveless ocean free of (parikṣīṇa) perception and its object. Deep and profound it is called the House of Bliss”.
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.
