In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramSauḥ (सौः) is the name of a particular seed-syllable (bīja), according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—[...] In the mantras of the later Kubjikā Tantras, PHREṂ is largely replaced by the variant KHPHREṂ as it is already in the Śrīmatottara where it is called the seed-syllable of Śivā. KHPHREṂ is an important seed-syllable. Abhinavagupta refers to it as the seed of destruction (saṃhārabīja) and couples it with SAUḤ, the seed-syllable of emanation (sṛṣṭibīja) and the goddess Parā. Also called Piṇḍanātha or Pañcapiṇḍanātha, it is the seed-syllable of the goddess Kālasaṃkarṣiṇī. The Ṭīkā, no doubt aware of this connection, calls it the seed-syllable of the goddess Kālī (kālīpiṇḍa).
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.
