In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramMaunīśa (मौनीश) or Tūṣṇīnātha refers to the “Silent Lord”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—The First or Root Siddha (Siddhanātha, Mūlanātha) is never called Vṛkṣanātha in the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā. He is especially called Tūṣṇīnātha or Maunīśa, the Silent Lord and is identified with Mīnīśa, that is, Matsyendranātha, the first Kaula teacher, Caryānātha and Oḍḍīśa the Siddha of the first seat. As do all his homonyms, this First Siddha is said to be the teacher of the three Siddhas of the sacred seats.
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.
