In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramPraśamita (प्रशमित) refers to “quelled” (i.e., pacified), 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, “[...] salute with (my) head that goddess, the venerable Kulālī who, like the rays of the moon, is the first path of Vṛkṣasiddha (the First Teacher). Like the (most excellent) quality of nectar, she is the wealth of grace attained—she who is conjoined to the one and sole abode (of the supreme). Residing in the Twelve Knots, she is like the young (dawning) sun of the Twelve Verses, impurity quelled [i.e., praśamita-kaluṣā], she is 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.
