In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramMāyāja (मायाज) refers to “that which is born of Māyā”, according to the second recension of the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, as the Goddess said to Bhairava: “By virtue of (your intense) desire to achieve (this) in (our) friendship, I have given (you) the accomplishment of the Command. O lord of the gods, your (Command now) shines radiantly; (this is) the truth. (It is indeed) the truth, it is not otherwise. Endowed with the triply pure Command, abandon (all) thought born of Māyā [i.e., māyāja]. O Kujīśa, I have made you into the Lord of Yoga, one who has attained the Command”.
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.
