In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramMādhvīpāna (माध्वीपान) refers to “drinking wine”, according to the Lalitāsahasranāma.—Lalitā’s thousand names are eulogized in the Lalitāsahasranāma, describing the goddess’s spiritual beauty on the analogy of physical, sensuous beauty. [...] Of course, the Goddess’s chastity and purity is no less than her erotic energy (kāma). She likes drinking wine very much (mādhvīpāna-lalasā) (575) and is, like the Kaula Tantric consort, inebriated (mattā). And yet she is wise and sober (sādhvī) (128). She is the wife, not lover of Kāmeśa. The thread that signals that she is married to him adorns her waist. Only Kāmeśvara has experienced the bliss of the softness of her thighs.
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.
