In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Savismaya (सविस्मय) refers to “being wonderstruck, according to 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 Bauddhadeva]: “[...] O Bhairava, he began to practice very difficult austerity, (hanging) face down. [...] Then blood came out of his ears, eyes, nose and mouth. A great lotus grew there, as brilliant as a ruby. The king saw that divine lotus. O fair faced one, there arose there the state in which Śiva and Śakti. Wonderstruck (savismaya), Mahīpāla spoke to (those) who practiced (with him)”.
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.
