In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramMlecchadik (म्लेच्छदिक्) refers to the “direction in which foreigners live”.—[...] The Niśisaṃcāra knows of the existence of Jālandhara but relegates it to the status of a secondary site (upasaṃdoha), along with the borderlands of India, Nepal, Kashmir and “the direction in which foreigners (live) (mlecchadik)”. Perhaps, when the Niśisaṃcāra was redacted, Jālandhara, along with these other places had not yet gained the importance it was to have later. But despite the secondary status accorded to Jālandhara in this Tantra, it may have been given prominent status by others.
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.
