In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramSaṃketasthāna (संकेतस्थान) refers to the “meeting place”, according to the Mahānayaprakāśa verse 2.1-35, while explaining the cycles of the goddesses of consciousness.—Accordingly, “[...] Located in this, the meeting place (saṃketasthāna), the rays of consciousness are clearly visible, due to which this Pīṭhakrama is thereby (experienced). Thus (the Pīṭhakrama) ranges from the Sacrifice which is the (aggregate of) the organs of action (karmendriya) up to the Void and the sequence beginning with ‘exertion’ (udyoga) in the body and externally as (the gross elements) beginning with Earth in due order”.
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!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
