In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Sāmavedī (सामवेदी) refers to an “adherent of the Samaveda”, as discussed in 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 Trivikrama]: “O beloved, there is a famous town, called Puṇḍravardhana, on the great and beautiful Island of the Sun. O venerated by the gods, there is a well known Brahmin there whose name is Trivikrama. He is a Sāmavedin and, as is clearly apparent, he is very powerful and possesses the Command. He performed severe austerities for a thousand divine years and sought knowledge. He looked at the sun and checked its course in the sky and he pierced the king of the gods. As he is thus related (to the Sun), he is called Kiraṇānanda (Bliss of the Sun Rays)”.
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.
