| | Shakti | Goddess Creative Force |
 | | These vibrations are represented as mantras, and when a series of sounds, a garland of letters, is infused with Shakti, the sound is transformed into a potent tool that can awaken the higher mind and reveal knowledge which leads to higher experience. |
 | | Shakti is also the force that liberates us from individual limitation and takes us to higher levels of awareness and experience; transpersonal levels of existence. |
 | | This is why, in the Indian pantheon, Shakti is said to be divided into two main groups of forces: the light, gentle and benign goddesses who are easy to approach, which include the goddesses Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Parvati, and the dark and fierce goddesses, which include Durga, Kali, Chandi and Chinnamasta. |
