In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramTiryagrekhā (तिर्यग्रेखा) refers to a “straight, slanted line”.—The Sanskrit texts have generally paid much more attention to the goddess as Speech in deference to the primacy always attributed to it over the written word. Even so, we do find rare references to the goddess as the Line—Rekhā. The Line in its three forms—straight, slanted (tiryagrekhā) and “raised up” (unnatā) that constitute the sides of the Triangle, are the three energies and goddesses in which Kubjikā manifests as the Triangle and in which see rests as the Spiral. These are synthesized as aspects of the goddess manifesting progressively to assume the form of a Triangle set in three dimensions commonly represented by a water chestnut (śṛṅgāta).
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.
