In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramTūṣṇiśanātha (तूष्णिशनाथ) refers to the the Root Lord (mūlanātha) (i.e., the First Siddha of the Kubjikā tradition), according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] It is Akula, which is Tūṣṇiśanātha, Kujeśa who is imperishable and eternal. (He), the lord, is conjoined with the primordial power (ādiśakti) and, supreme, he is eternal and without defect. The supreme power has originated from that like a spark from a fire. Inconceivable and not an object of knowledge, her light is like that of ten million lightning flashes”.
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.
