Resumo: | Śaktism is a religious approach that regards the Great Indian Goddess (Mahā Devī, or Śakti) as the supreme deity. Since the remotest antiquity, one may find many goddesses (devī) in the Indian religious traditions, but they have a secondary role in the early sacred literature. This situation changes in the Indian scriptures known as Purāṇa, which demarcate the cultural period of India called “Puranic Age”, which starts at the beginning of the Christian era. During this period of the history of India, several devotional religious tendencies are born or gain strength and influence, redefining Hinduism in many ways. In this context arises Śaktism as an independent cult worshiping the Goddess, that is, a cult emphasizing the feminine principle as the ultimate supreme reality, with a distinct philosophy, as an autonomous movement, recognized in the Hindu religious landscape. This paper will evaluate and define the relevance and role of the Purāṇa in the founding and development of the Śakti cult, in what has been called the “crystallization of the Goddess tradition” – a process that attains completion in the Devī-Bhāgavata Purāṇa |

Desde a mais remota Antiguidade, encontram-se diversas deusas (devī) na tradição religiosa indiana, mas elas possuem papel secundário na literatura sagrada mais antiga. Essa situação muda nas escrituras indianas conhecidas como Purāṇa, que demarcam o período cultural da Índia denominado como “Período Purânico”, que começa no início da era cristã. Nesse período, na história da Índia, nascem ou se desenvolvem diversos movimentos devocionais religiosos que adquirem força e influência, redefinindo o Hinduísmo em muitos aspectos. Nesse contexto surge o Śaktismo como um culto independente de adoração à Deusa, ou seja, um culto no qual se enfatiza o princípio feminino como realidade suprema última, com uma filosofia distinta, como um movimento autônomo e reconhecido no panorama religioso hindu. Iremos avaliar e definir a relevância e o papel dos Purāṇa na instituição e independência do culto à Śakti, no que vem sendo chamado de “cristalização da tradição da Deusa”, um movimento que se completa no Devī-Bhāgavata PurāṇaPontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2014-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/rever/article/view/20273REVER: Journal for the Study of Religion; Vol. 14 No. 1 (2014): Religiões Indianas; 179-203REVER: Revista de Estudos da Religião; v. 14 n. 1 (2014): Religiões Indianas; 179-2031677-1222reponame:Rever (São Paulo.

In this context arises Śaktism as an independent cult worshiping the Goddess, that is, a cult emphasizing the feminine principle as the ultimate supreme reality, with a distinct philosophy, as an autonomous movement, recognized in the Hindu religious landscape.
