In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramSamāṃśa (समांश) refers to “having equal status”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] The main sacred [i.e., Oḍḍiyāṇa] seat is the source (yoni) (and aggregate of all of them together in a potential form). The sacred seats have arisen from its presence, that is, from the will (icchā) with the three seats, that is Kāmarūpa, Pūrṇagiri and Jālandhara in the grid (prastāra). Oḍḍiyāṇa is in the centre and pervades (them). For this reason, it should always be worshipped with (these) three seats as an aspect that is equal (to each one of them) (samāṃśena)”.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
