Accordingly, “In the beginning of the dark lunar fortnight during the Age of Strife, there in the beginning was Kāmarūpa, the principle of the Yoni [i.e., yonitattva] whose nature is the Void. That divine (place), endowed with the energy of passion, is attended (by many beings). The Atharvaveda is loudly sung (there) composed with the best of musical sounds. I salute that Lord (of this seat)”.
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.
