In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramPippalītaru (पिप्पलीतरु) refers to the “Pippalī tree”, according to 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, [while discussing the Hagiography of Siddha Pippalīnātha]: “[...] A lotus grew out of the lotus of Vikrama’s (navel) that shone like the sun. A man was born there in the middle of it who was clearly visible. A divine Śakti was (also) born from his navel. Her name was Maṇī and she was very famous. The Śakti that was born in his body possessed (his) same (divine) attributes. He desired knowledge intensely and so the Pippalī tree (under which he practiced austerity) was adorned (by his presence) (pippalītaru-śobhita). As he is thus related (to the tree), his name is Pippalīnātha”.
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.
