In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramŚāntodaya (शान्तोदय) refers to the “tranquil arising” (of spiritual consciousness), according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—The samayin is established in the Rule; he exerts himself (therein). He is beloved amongst those who belong to the teacher’s clan. He is endowed with the tranquil arising (śāntodaya) (of spiritual consciousness). He abandons (the objects of attatchment), is dispassionate and possesses the Rule. Free of thought and well hidden—such is said to be the samayin.
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.
