In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramUdyānabhairava (उद्यानभैरव) refers to a Liṅga situated on the Candradvīpa, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—The god (i.e., Bhairava) is astonished to see this and how the Island of the Moon continues to exist unchanged, a beacon of light in the midst of unbounded darkness. [...] He begins by worshipping the Liṅga. Note that this is a Bhairava Liṅga because Śiva’s wrathful form, Bhairava, is present within it. The Tantra implies that it is called Udyāna Bhairava because it is situated on the Island of the Moon which is a ‘great and beautiful garden (udyāna)’ or, as the Śrīmatottara says, it is “mind’s garden”.
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.
