In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramYonir奴p膩 (啶啶ㄠた啶班啶ぞ) refers to 鈥渙ne who has the form of the female Yoni 鈥�.鈥擳he common form for both male and female stones accounts for the ease with which they can change gender or be 鈥榥euter鈥�, even if the texts on architecture distinguish stones on the basis of gender. So, by extension, a goddess can possess the stony form of a Li峁単a. R膩dh膩, for example, in the K峁涐梗峁嘺y膩mala is said to have this form (濒颈峁単补谤奴辫腻, 濒颈峁単颈苍墨) as well as that of the female Yoni (测辞苍颈谤奴辫腻).
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.
