In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramKubjikāmata (कुब्जिकामत) or Kubjikāmatatantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult, opens with two myths that narrate how the goddess Kubjikā, the Humpbacked One, manifested for the first time in this form in this age. Belonging to the earliest stage of development of Kubjikā’s cult, these myths signal the beginning of the teachings not only in mythical but also in historical time. Let us then begin our journey from here into the world of the Kubjikā Tantras.
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.
