Shakti


In Hinduism, Shakti ((:ˈʃəkt̪ɪ)) (Devanagari: शक्ति; from Sanskrit ''shak'', "to be able"), also spelt as Sakthi or Shakthi, meaning "power" or "empowerment," is the primordial cosmic energy and represents the dynamic forces that are thought to move through the entire universe.〔Sacred Sanskrit words, p.111〕 Shakti is the concept, or personification, of divine feminine creative power, sometimes referred to as 'The Great Divine Mother' in Hinduism. As the mother she is known as Adi Parashaktior Adishakti. In her avatar as Akshara Mandhapati, her power is her uncontrollable energy. On the earthly plane, Shakti most actively manifests through female embodiment and creativity/fertility, though it is also present in males in its potential, unmanifest form.〔Tiwari, Path of Practice, p. 55〕
Hindus believe that Shakti is both responsible for creation and the agent of all change. Shakti is cosmic existence as well as liberation, its most significant form being the Kundalini Shakti,〔The Shambhala Encyclopedia of Yoga, p.270〕 a mysterious psychospiritual force.〔The Shambhala Encyclopedia of Yoga, p.162〕
In Shaktism and Shaivism, Shakti is worshipped as the Supreme Being. Shakti embodies the active feminine energy of Shiva and is identified as Tripura Sundari or Parvati.
==Evolution==

David Kinsley mentions the "shakti" of Lord Indra's as Sachi (Indrani), meaning power.〔Hindu Goddesses: Visions of the Divine Feminine in the Hindu Tradition by David Kinsley page 17, minor vedic Goddesses〕 Indrani is part of a group of seven or eight mother goddesses called the Matrikas (Brahmani, Vaishnavi, Maheshvari, Indrani, Kumari, Varahi and Chamunda and/or Narasimhi), who are considered shaktis of major Hindu gods (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Indra, Skanda, Varaha/Yama and Devi and Narasimha respectively).
The Shakti goddess is also known as Amman (meaning 'mother') in south India, especially in the states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. There are many temples devoted to various incarnations of the Shakti goddess in most of the villages in South India. The rural people believe that Shakti is the protector of the village, the punisher of evil people, the curer of diseases, and the one who gives welfare to the village. They celebrate Shakti Jataras with great interest once a year. Some examples of incarnations are Ganga Ma, Aarti, Kamakshi Ma, Kanakadurga Ma, Mahalakshmi Ma, Meenatchi ma, Manasa Ma, Mariamman, Yellamma, Poleramma, Gangamma and Perantalamma.
It is believed that the cosmic grand design is theoretically a triangular structure of equal sides. The three points of the triangle or the "trine structure of macrocosmic system" are occupied by three ultimate manifestations of the trinity: Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara. The central point or the ultimate gravitational presence of the trine structure is occupied by "Shakti" which is self-born, and is unable to be created or destroyed by any other existence in the cosmos which motivates the trinity from the ultimate center. This ultimate indestructible gravity known as "Shakti" in its three transformative form is connected to the trinity separately. She is connected to Brahma through her creative motherly form with Satya Guna; to Maheshwara through her destructive elderly form with Tamas Guna; and to Vishnu through her neutral meditating form through her Rajas Guna. Brahma, by the grace of "her" creative force creates, Maheshwara, by the strength of "her" destructive force destroys and Vishnu, by the righteousness and unbiased quality of "her" intellectual (thinking) force judges what, where, why, when and how is to be created or what, where, why, when and how to be destroyed.
