Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramShivacinmaya (स्हिवचिन्मय) refers to “Śiva’s 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.—Accordingly, “[...] The seventh place (attained) by abandoning the six (Wheels) is repose, the union of (all) seven (states) [i.e., saptamelaka]. It is the abode (of all things) and supreme bliss. (The first of all, it is like) the letter A, it is Śiva’s consciousness [i.e., śivacinmaya]. Then that energy of action is the New Moon, the unmoving (acārā) and final (energy of the Moon)”.
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.
