In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
: Wikisource: Ashtavakra GitaŚī (शरीरवत्) refers to “having the likeness of (another) one’s body�, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “Knowing yourself as truly one and indestructible, how could a wise man possessing self-knowledge like you feel any pleasure in acquiring wealth? [...] Whether feted or tormented, the wise man is always aware of his supreme self-nature and is neither pleased nor disappointed. The great souled person sees even his own body in action as if it were some-one else's (Բⲹ-śī) [ceṣṭamāna� śī� sva� paśyatyanyaśī], so how should he be disturbed by praise or blame?�.

Vedanta (वेदान्�, vedānta) 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).
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramŚī (शरीरवत्) refers to “resembling the body�, according to the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, [while discussing the Hagiography of Siddha Aṃśadeva]: “[...] O god, I have told (you) this, namely, how the Command is in the (lineages of) the Eldest and the Middle One. They were again endowed with the Command and arose in the previous tradition. I have told (you) the tradition. What is secret has been revealed. It should be hidden and protected with care like the body (śī). [...]�.

Shakta (शाक्�, 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.
