In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa (shakta)Yantrarūpiṇī (यन्त्ररूपिणी) refers to “assuming the form of a Yantra”, according to the Kulārṇava-tantra (verse VI.85ab, 86cd-7).—It says that says that Yantra is the visual form of a deity which annihilates all evils. The deity, pleased when propitated in the form of Yantra (yantrarūpiṇī), is like the soul to the body and oil to the lamp. All deities can be invoked in Yantra and worshipped after receiving instruction or dīkṣa from a preceptor.
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.
