In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramTīvratejā (तीव्रतेजा) refers to “extremely intense radiant energy”, according to the second recension of the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “[...] Having split apart the Meruliṅga and come forth, she moves mountains. She came forth within the heart, her radiant energy extremely intense [i.e., tīvratejā] and very hard to bear. Bhairava was pierced then by an intense descent of the energy (of grace). Penetrated by (that) divine energy, the god rolled around on the ground. In this way, when he regained consciousness, Bhairava felt embarrassed. Similarly, when the goddess with a crooked face regained consciousness, she too was embarrassed”.
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.
