Source: DSpace at Pondicherry: Siddha Cult in Tamilnadu (shaktism)Śaktisaṅgamantra (शक्तिसङ्गमन्त्र).—The Śaktisaṅgamantra holds that Kulācāra in general is nothing but the cult of Śakti in any of her forms and aspects, but its peculiarity is a special form of worship done with wine, flesh, fish, cereals and sexual union. The knowledge conveyed by the guru and the worship with five makāras should be kept in secrecy. It is interesting to note that the Śaktisaṅgamantra states that the Devī manifests herself for the destruction of the Buddhist and other heretical sects, for the removal of the confusing admixture of different cults, and for the establishment of true religion. The Śaktisaṅgamantra is divided into four parts viz., Kālī, Tārā, Sundarī and Chinnamastā. It was composed sometime between 16th–17th centuries C.E.
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.
