In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramŚambhurandhra (शम्भुरन्ध्र) refers to “(Śāmbhava characterized as) Śiva’s Void”, according to texts such as the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] He should place (his whole) being (bhāva) in the location (between) the lower and upper cavity (roma). Above is the Knot, below the Bulb (kanda), in the centre there is nothing at all. Know that place to be Śāmbhava characterized as Śiva's Void (śambhurandhra). One should not think of anything there. (There is only) a subtle placement (of awareness) in the energy of consciousness (citi). The bliss of knowledge comes about just by recollecting (saṃsmaraṇa) in this way. (One who has realised this) brings about many insights (pratyaya) in others by (his) speech alone”.
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.
