Shaktism is a major tradition within Hinduism that focuses on the worship of the divine feminine energy, known as Shakti. Followers believe that Shakti is the source of all creation and represents the dynamic forces that move through the universe. This tradition emphasizes the importance of the goddess in various forms, such as Durga, Kali, and Saraswati, who embody different aspects of power and creativity.
Practitioners of Shaktism often engage in rituals, prayers, and meditation to connect with the divine feminine. Temples dedicated to goddesses are common, and festivals celebrating these deities play a significant role in the spiritual lives of devotees. Shaktism highlights the balance between masculine and feminine energies in the universe.
