In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramŚivavyāpti (शिवव्याप्ति) refers to “inherence in Śiva”, according to the Svacchandabhairavatantra, which is well known to the Kubjikā Tantras.—Although there is no place to fix the mind—which in this state [i.e., the supreme state of Śiva ?] and by this practice has been transcended—nonetheless the Netratantra, like the Svacchandabhairavatantra, teaches a path to the realisation of this condition by ascending through the stages of the utterance of the sacred syllable OṂ. According to the Netratantra as well, the final stage of this ascent is the Transmental, which is the ‘undifferentiated Self’ (niṣkalaṃ ātmatattvam). This is the stage of absolute consciousness, of complete pervasion by and inherence in Śiva (śivavyāpti): the transcendental Void (śūnyātiśūnya), beyond all appearing that is the ‘unmanifest’ to which the above passage refers.
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.
