Śakti is the dynamic power by which the divine creates, sustains and dissolves the world. In Śaiva and Śākta thought she is the inseparable consort of Śiva, as heat is of fire; for the Śākta traditions she is the supreme reality itself. In Kashmir Śaivism she is consciousness’s freedom to manifest.
