Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Wisdom Library: 艢膩ktism厂腻诲丑惫墨 (啶膏ぞ啶о啶掂, 鈥渁ccomplish鈥�):鈥擭ame of one of the goddesses to be worshipped during 膧vara峁嘺p奴j膩 (鈥淲orship of the Circuit of Goddesses鈥�), according to the Durg膩p奴j膩tattva (鈥淭he truth concerning Durg膩鈥檚 ritual鈥�).

厂腻诲丑惫墨 (啶膏ぞ啶о啶掂) refers to 鈥渟he who is wise and sober鈥�, according to the Lalit膩sahasran膩ma.鈥擫alit膩鈥檚 thousand names are eulogized in the Lalit膩sahasran膩ma, describing the goddess鈥檚 spiritual beauty on the analogy of physical, sensuous beauty. [...] Of course, the Goddess鈥檚 chastity and purity is no less than her erotic energy (办腻尘补). She likes drinking wine very much (尘腻诲丑惫墨-辫腻苍补濒补濒补蝉腻) (575) and is, like the Kaula Tantric consort, inebriated (尘补迟迟腻). And yet she is wise and sober (蝉腻诲丑惫墨) (128). She is the wife, not lover of K膩me艣a. The thread that signals that she is married to him adorns her waist. Only K膩me艣vara has experienced the bliss of the softness of her thighs.
Shakta (啶多ぞ啶曕啶�, 艣膩kta) or Shaktism (艣膩ktism) 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.
