Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramŚaktyācāra (शक्त्याचार) refers to the “activity of Śakti”, according to the Kaulajñānanirṇaya.—Accordingly, “[...] O beloved, one must break though the door which, endowed with consciousness, is sealed with the Five Seals (of the lower Wheels) and is well obstructed by the chain (of the door). Break through the End of the Twelve, which is such, by means of the activity of Śakti [i.e., śaktyācāra]. (The letters) that are goddesses and Yoginīs present on the plane of the Wheel of the Phonemes (mātṛcakra) merge into the Wheel of the Sky-faring goddesses, (and so in this way) generate the supreme nectar. O goddess, without nectar how, O beloved, (can one attain) immortality? Nectar is the essence of Kaula”.
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.
