In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramSaṃsphura (संस्फुर) refers to the “radiant expansion”, according to the Kulakaulinīmata.—The Command can be that of the goddess or that of the god, the teacher or the entire lineage of Siddhas. It is transmitted through the lineage of the Siddhas who are accordingly said to guard it. The “oldest lineages” (jyeṣṭhāvali) that are common to all the Western Tradition generate the Command of radiant expansion (saṃsphura-ājñā). Accordingly, when the neophant receives the consecration, he should ask for the Command of all the Siddhas, not just that of his teacher and the deity.
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.
