Utgivarens beskrivning

The Shakta is so called because he is a worshipper of Shakti (Power), that is, God in Mother-form as the Supreme Power which creates, sustains and withdraws the universe. His rule of life is Shaktadharma, his doctrine of Shakti is Shaktivada or Shakta Darshana. God is worshipped as the Great Mother because, in this aspect, God is active, and produces, nourishes, and maintains all. Theological Godhead is no more female than male or neuter. God is Mother to the Sadhaka who worships Her Lotus Feet, the dust on which are millions of universes. The Power, or active aspect of the immanent God, is thus called Shakti.

A set of essays with subjects including; Indian Religion As Bharata Dharma; Tantra Shastra and Veda; The Tantra Shastras in China; The Tantras and the Religion of the Shaktas; Maya-Shakti (The Psycho-Physical Aspect of the Universe); Creation as Explained in the Non-dualist Tantras; The Psychology of Hindu Religious Ritual; Kundalini Shakta (Yoga), and many more.
