In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramVisargaśakti (विसर्गशक्ति) (Cf. Ṣaḍara, Visarga) refers to “energy of emission”.—Jayaratha explains in his commentary that, in the context of ritual sexual union (caryākrama), “(...) the state consisting of the Gesture of the Hexagon (ṣaḍaramudrā) also arises by encapsulation of the two triangles, namely, Siddha and Yoginī”. [...] The male partner is the upward-facing triangle of Anuttara (the Absolute) and Ānanda (Bliss) that is implicitly identified with the male organ. Moreover, the sides of the two triangles are formed from the three channels of the vital breath—Iḍā, Piṅgalā and Suṣumṇā—of each partner that are equated with the energies of will, knowledge and action. Their union brings about the emission of the Drop (bindu) that rises up through the centre of the conjoined triangles transported upwards by Kuṇḍalinī, the energy of emission (visargaśakti).
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.
