Shakti - The Essence of Feminism

Shakti is the concept or personification of divine feminine power.

Every woman, as the embodiment of shakti, has three aspects to her — creation, preservation and destruction.

Every day, too, can be divided into three parts — each corresponding to a specific aspect of shakti. In fact, the vedic science of havan also talks about performing havan three times in a day, before the sun sets corresponding to the three aspects of shakti. However, a havan is performed long after the sunset, because there is a fourth aspect, which has in it the essence (samavesh) of all the three aspects of shakti. One must not forget that shakti runs the creation. A man cannot do anything without shakti. Therefore, when a man performs a havan, he needs to have the shakti (whether his mother, daughter, sister or wife) to be seated on his left. A havan is incomplete if there is no presence of a woman.

Shakti is both responsible for creation and the agent of all change. Shakti is cosmic existence as well as liberation.
