Prenatal yoga image
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. --Redtigerxyz Talk 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.

The image of Manasa in this article is grossly inappropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.236.217.95 (talk) 22:44, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
The misconception in the article
In Sanskrit or Hindi Language, jus the word Shakti is the translation of english word engery, whereas, The Hindu Goddess is called as Devi Shakti. For adresssing this Hindu Goddess, It is very necesaary to use the prefix Devi. If not used, It literally power but not the goddesses name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pratik12951 (talk • contribs) 13:24, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
