In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramSiṃhasaṃvartaka (सिंहसंवर्तक) refers to the “lion fire”, 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, [as the Goddess narrates]: “Its will is the Unmanifest whose form is subtly manifest. Then I was overcome with wander and (asked myself): ‘What is this emptiness?’ Realising that it was terrible and deep, I was frightened and (my) mind slumbered. Having entered into Bhairava’s sacrifice I remained there in (my) supreme (form). As an atom (of consciousness), the Lion (bore) a subtle form. O Lord, the Lion Fire (siṃhasaṃvartaka), full of darkness, became manifest”.
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.
