In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Wisdom Library: ŚktismḥsԱ (निःस्नेह) means “without affection� and represents one of the sixty defects of mantras, according to the 11th century Kulrṇava-tantra: an important scripture of the Kaula school of Śktism traditionally stated to have consisted of 125.000 Sanskrit verses.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Śrī Devī: “For those who do japa without knowing these defects [e.g., ԾḥsԱ—without affection], there is no realization even with millions and billions of japa. [...] Oh My Beloved! there are ten processes for eradicating defects in Mantras as described. [...]�.

Shakta (शाक्�, śkta) or Shaktism (śktism) 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.
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
: Wikisource: Ashtavakra GitaḥsԱ (निःस्नेह) refers to “one who is free from attachment� (to children, etc.), according to the Aṣṭvakragīt (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vednta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] The wise man stands out by being free from anticipation, without attachment (ԾḥsԱ) to such things as children or wives, free from desire for the senses [ԾḥsԱ� putradrdau niṣkmo viṣayeṣu ca], and not even concerned about his own body. Peace is everywhere for the wise man who lives on whatever happens to come to him, going to wherever he feels like, and sleeping wherever the sun happens to set. [...]�.

Vedanta (वेदान्�, vednta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
