Page "Femininity" Paragraph 0

In Hindu traditions, Devi is the female aspect of the divine.

Shakti is the divine feminine creative power, the sacred force that moves through the entire universe and the agent of change.

She is the female counterpart without whom the male aspect, which represents consciousness or discrimination, remains impotent and void.

As the female manifestation of the supreme lord, she is also called Prakriti, the basic nature of intelligence by which the Universe exists and functions.

In Hinduism, the universal creative force Yoni is feminine, with inspiration being the life force of creation.
