In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramUttarānanda (उत्तरानन्द) refers to “higher bliss”, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, as the Goddess (i.e., Kubjikā) said to Karālī:—“[...] You will have ten fearsome daughters and these ten (will) possess the most excellent qualities and higher bliss (uttarānanda). O fair lady, you will have six attendants in (your) entourage and the race of (your) fierce (karālī) daughters (will possess) the equal oneness of the bliss of the Command. (These) lords (īśvara) will generate the higher bliss (uttarānanda) in each Age, and when the fall from (true) knowledge comes to an end (they will create other teachers) again and again with diverse names (saṃjñābheda) and, O Karālī, they will be in your lineage by (the grace of) my Command”.
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.
