Hello, I propose adding the information on this page to the Devi page and removing this page. Since Shakti and Devi are essentially the same thing it would make sense to make the information more easily searchable. Devi is a much more commonly used term than Shakti, and having this information on the Devi page would make it easier to find. Does anyone have thoughts on this? Thanks, Hemmingweigh (talk) 08:41, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shakti and Mahadevi are essentially the same deity as the Supreme Goddess. Suggest merge.

However, shakti can be a common noun. shakti can mean power / consort of a Hindu god. Parvati being a shakti of Shiva. Also, in context of Matrikas, shakti is a goddess mirroring the form of a Hindu god e.g. Maheshvari of Shiva. Suggest rewrite of the article in this aspect.

-''Shakti embodiment on the earthly plane: Prenatal Yoga & Meditation, Virabhadrasana I'' is definitely a case of image [[WP:OR]]. The picture does not feature any Hindu goddesses or Shaktis, but mere mortals doing Yoga. --[[User:Redtigerxyz|<font color = "red" >Redtigerxyz</font>]] <sup> [[User talk:Redtigerxyz|Talk]] </sup> 10:50, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
-''See footnotes 5 and 6, and the Shambhala Encyl. of Yoga''.  Not original thought, but certainly modern.
-The metaphorical depiction is as appropriate as the others, they are all human-made attempts to give form to the formless!  As a female editor, the depiction of a fertility image of pregnant yoginis as tridevi is an obviously appropriate reverance to shakti essence, imho.... at least as much as a three-headed tridevi superheroine illustration c. 1975 (?).  In Hindu thought women are capable of gestating saints and peacemakers.... and are revered for that (for example, Didima, mother of Sri Anandamayi Ma).  Also, mother is first guru...  In modern global culture, prenatal yoga is becoming commonplace.  So, quite alot of shakti (lower case 's') can be relevant to the photo art form, complementary to the referenced material, at least to a female editor such as myself.

-I agree with Redtiger. This is an irrelevant image that has no place in the article. Would you place such an image in other conceptions of the Divine in other religion.

-{{user|Pratik12951}} has expressed concern that the title of this article is inappropriate.  His concern (which he has expressed on this talk page, and then inexplicably deleted) is that the term ''Shakti'', when used unmodified, means simply "energy", whereas the Hindu Goddess is properly addressed as ''Devi Shakti''.  I personally have no input on this matter (knowing nothing of Hinduism or the Sanskrit language), but I invite knowledgeable members of the community to weigh in on the topic. <font color="green">[[User:WikiDan61|WikiDan61]]</font><font color="green" size="5px"></font><sup>[[User talk:WikiDan61|ChatMe!]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/WikiDan61|ReadMe!!]]</sub> 13:40, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
