Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Om Namah Sivaya HINDU SECTS On the Nature of Shakti SAIVISM: Shakti is God Siva's inseparable power and manifest will, energy or mind. SHAKTISM: Shakti is an active, immanent Being, separate from a quiescent and remote Siva. VAISHNAVISM: No special importance is given to Shakti. However, there are parallels wherein the divine consorts are conceived as the inseparable powers of Vishnu and His incarnations: e.g., Krishna's Radha Rani and Rama's Sita. SMARTISM: Shakti is a divine form of Ishvara. It is God's manifesting power. -- Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami Sivaya Namah Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger. Quote
