Shakta Tradition

The Shakta Tradition is a branch of Hinduism that worships Devi, the divine feminine energy, as the supreme goddess. It emphasizes that the goddess, often called Durga, Kali, or Lakshmi, is the source of all creation, preservation, and destruction. Practitioners believe that divine power resides within the feminine aspect of the universe, and through rituals, prayers, and festivals, they honor her as the ultimate divine force. The tradition highlights the strength, compassion, and nurturing qualities of the goddess, encouraging devotees to recognize her presence in all aspects of life.
