Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramYugadharma (युगधर्म) refers to the “various types of initiation according to each yuga”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, “[...] Āṇava is said to be (brought about) by the mantras applied through the process of uttering the letters (that constitute them). In this way, O fair-faced one, in the future, in (the course of) the a eons, great (kalpa) and small (manvantara), the rite of initiation will be of three types. The rite of initiation in the Kula tradition will take place during (the various) ages (yuga) and (varies) according to the nature of (each) age [i.e., yugadharma], and (will be imparted) through the line of teachers and disciples by means of insights (outwardly apparent) as the signs of attainment”.
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.
