In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramSukharati (सुखरति) refers to “she who is pure with blissful intercourse”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—[...] In the phase of withdrawal, she [i.e., the Goddess] is aroused by her self-stimulation and, charged with the energy of her passion (mandanakalā), she ‘churns’ the Churning Bhairava. When she penetrates him, he passively accepts her, as it were, into himself. [...] Above, at the summit of this ladder that leads up into the absolute beyond them, she merges into the pure, partless—Akula—oneness of the god. Conversely, in order to issue out into her full sixfold form she, the Divine Liṅga, must be ‘churned from above’. In the previous phase she is said to be ‘the treasure of Supreme Bliss’; in this phase we are told she is ‘pure with blissful intercourse (sukharati)’.
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.
