Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramTridhākāla (त्रिधाकाल) refers to “threefold time” (of past, present and future), according to the second ṣaṭka of the Jayadrathayāmala, while explaining the ‘end of the sixteen’ (ṣoḍāśānta).—Accordingly, “I have explained the mother of mantras consisting of seventeen syllables along with (her) letters. [...] She is the abode at the beginning and at the end of time and is the consumer of time of the (lunar) energies (kalā). Established in the dynamism of the centre, she consumes the threefold time (of past, present and future) [i.e., tridhākāla]. Gross time is emanation (sṛṣṭi). It abides as the first of all (things). The secret one of (all the) gods and goddesses is located at the End of the Sixteen. Located on the plane of Kula, that is the time that destroys”.
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.
