In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramSṛṣṭibīja (सृष्टिबीज) refers to the “seed of emanation”, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—The seed-syllable of the goddess, like that of any deity, is her sonic body. [...] Kubjikā has two such seed-syllables, probably due to changes and developments in doctrine. [...] The other syllable is AIṂ, which is well known to the Kubjikāmatatantra and all the other Kubjikā Tantras. No doubt AIṂ is the seed-syllable meant here. It is triangular and so indeed “crooked” and, as this is the mantric body of the goddess, she is similarly crooked. This seed-syllable is also called the “seed of emanation” (sṛṣṭibīja).
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.
