In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramVīraśanideva (वीरशनिदेव) [=Vīraśātnideva?] is another name of Jhiṇṭhīśa: 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.—Sehila is the name at birth (i.e., the original names of the Siddhas) of Jhiṇṭhīśa. His [other] famed names are: Unmanānanda, Vīraśāntideva [=Vīraśanideva?], Laghuprabodhadeva. A Nātha may have more than one such ‘famed name’ (kīrtināma), according to the number of extraordinary events especially associated with him.
The Kubjikānityāhnikatilaka describes the extraordinary events that inspired his “famed names”: Sehila was called Unmanānandanātha from when he attained the power of the Lord of the Transmental (unmanīśa). He was called Vīraśanideva [Vīraśāntideva?] because he contemplated all that is one on the plane of the heroes. He was called Laghuprabodhadeva because he awakened Buddhists.
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.
