In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramOlīśa (ओलीश) or Olīśadeva refers to one of the Nine Nāthas according to the Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka: a derative text drawing from Tantras and other sources such as the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā.—The Nine Nāthas propagated the Western Transmission noted in the Kubjikā Tantras. Although each Siddha has a consort with which he shares some part of his spiritual discipline, she is not considered to be his wife. Thus, from the perspective of his identity as an initiate, he is not a householder.—Olīśa-deva is the Caryā name of this Nātha (i.e., the public name the Siddha uses when living as a wandering renouncer). He is associated with the following: Alternative Caryā name: Mātaṅgīśa; Birth place: Kāmākṣā in Sauradeśa; Caste: Śūdra; Name at birth: Vāhila; Kīrtināma (famed names): Ājñāprabhāvadeva; Secret name: Māṇikyānanda; Pūjā name: Kamala; Consort: Kamalādevī.
The Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka describes the extraordinary events that inspired his “famed names”: Vāhila was called Ājñāprabhāvadeva because the power of the Command (ājñāprabhāva) imparted to him was energized (dīpita).
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.
