In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramMūrtyaṃśa (मूर्त्यंश) refers to the “various incarnations” (of the goddess and the god), according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—The first half of chapter nine recounts the various incarnations of the goddess and the god (mūrtyaṃśa-saṃbhūti) in this and preceding aeons and ages. The second half goes on to deal with the relationship between the teachers. These are the Siddhas who will bring Kula doctrine down into the world. As they descend down with it, they form lineages within the fundamental principles from which the world and the teachings are emitted. The initial station of this descent is the Śiva principle. The First Teacher is created here from the union of the god and the goddess along with the divine lineage of teachers.
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.
