Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Sahya (सह्य) refers to a Mahāpīṭha (main sacred seat) and one of the ten places visited by the Goddess on her pilgrimage, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] Having said this, the Great Goddess (maheśānī) went to the great forest called Sahya. She filled the triple universe with the flames of her complete (saṃpūrṇa) maṇḍala. (She filled) the entire universe without residue, (and the world) within (the area demarcated by the mountain) Lokāloka”.—(Cf. Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā verse 1.36-37, 4.5, 4.26-132)

Note: The forest to which the Kubjikāmatatantra refers draws its name from the well-known Sahya mountain near modern Pune, on which it grows. The goddess transforms this place into the sacred mountain called Full—Pūrṇagiri. Its new name is derived from the “complete (saṃpūrṇa) maṇḍala” of energy that encompassed the entire universe. The mountain is not only itself full of the flaming energy of the goddess; it also marks the centre from which the goddess radiates it.

Sahya (सह्य) is the name of a mountain mentioned as “one of the places where God’s presence is felt”, as discussed in chapter 36 of the Pauṣkarasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text of almost 5900 verses divided into forty-three chapters presented as a frame-work dialogue between Pauṣkara and Bhagavān dealing with the esoteric meaning of maṇḍala-designs, worship routines and temple-building.—Description of the chapter [āyatana-vicāra]: God’s presence at certain places [e.g., Sahya] [...]—has made these places particularly sacred (5-28). People who live in such places will enjoy certain spiritual benefits (29-84). Those who pollute such places incur double sin, but rebirth in the holy vicinity will give them the more opportunity to atone for their former evil ways (85-125). [...] The remainder of the chapter amounts to a eulogy of God's omnipresence and omnipotence in this world and all its parts: each holy place [kṣetra] has a particular deity connected with it; the relationship between the place and the deity is stated-in some cases specifically, in others more generally (290-460a).
