| | The idea of Shakti is prominent in Tantra where the Kundalini energy (see yoga) is regarded as a goddess, and the theme of male-female polarity is developed. | | | SHAKTI [Shakti] [Skt.,=power], in Hinduism, name given to the female consorts of male deities. | | | The Shakti personifies the dynamic, manifesting energy that creates the universe, while the male god represents the static, unmanifest aspect of the divine reality. |

| | Chapter Two: Shakti: The World as Power |
| | The statement that the Supreme Shakti also exists as the Forms evolved from It, may seem to conflict with the doctrine that Power is ultimately one with Shiva who is changeless Being. | | | Every Hindu believes in Shakti as God's Power, though he may differ as to the nature of the universe created by it. | | | Reason is a limited manifestation of the same Shakti, who is fully known in ecstasy (Samadhi) which transcends all reasoning. |

| | Phil's India Travelogue: Neelkanth, Kunjapuri Temples, Rishikesh |
| | And to call it shakti is not necessarily correct, since shakti is associated with the goddess, a feminine aspect of spirituality and this is Shiva-like, a masculine and impersonal aspect. | | | Advaita Vedanta, started by Shankara, and certainly popularized by Ramana Maharshi, with his offering of "Who Am I" is associated with a practice of enquiry, "questioning" into the nature of self and existence. | | | Anyway, there's a whole lot more that can be said about it, but the point is that both Ramana and Adi Da claim to have some association with Lord Shiva - Ramana spent his entire life around Arunachala mountain, which is celebrated as a form of Lord Shiva. |
