In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramVigraheśāna (विग्रहेशान) refers to the “(invisible) form of the Lord”, according to the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “Accomplishment is not far and liberation is in the grasp of the disciple who, equal in pleasure and pain, behaves in this way. One should worship whatever the teacher gives as (his) teaching. Therefore, having known (the matter) in this way, the teacher is (realised to be) deity and in no other way. One should worship him by prostrating before him, with meditation and Yoga at all three times (of the day). One cannot perceive the invisible form of the Lord (vigraheśāna) in any other way”.
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.
