In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramVyomasthā (व्योमस्था) refers to “she who resides in the Void”, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, while describing Trikhaṇḍā: “That energy which is supreme, subtle, endless, and pervasive (is the goddess) who is consciousness. Supreme and divine, she abides (in the objective sphere as each) moment of time. Endless, pervasive and divine, she resides in the Void [i.e., vyomasthā] (of the transcendent) and her form is the Point. She is the divine nectar within emission. She is activity (itself) that resides in the (pure transcendent reality) devoid of (phenomenal) activity (acāra). (Although she is thus) unmanifest, she possesses a manifest (form). (Now) I will explain her manifest (form)”.
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.
