Śakti (Skt., ‘power’). Creative power in Hinduism manifested as Goddess and consort of
Śiva. She is venerated under many aspects (e.g. each
cakra is governed by a particularization of Śakti) and many names (e.g.
Durgā,
Kālī,
Ambā). Devotion to Śakti is thus extremely diverse: see
ŚĀKTISM. As the creative power, able to bring things into appearance, Śakti resembles
māyā; for that reason, goddesses in their role as śakti are often referred to as Māyā.
