I consider myself a Shakta. So I'm speaking for myself. As I personally believe the purpose of our sadhana [my that is specifically] is to merge and BE ONE with DEVI. As Im being taught: to worship the DEVI you must be the DEVI. To be honest I am not really familiar with this Advaitins concept. I only know : this is who I am, what I am and my goal. As stated in our Homepage. What is Shakti Sadhana? Shakti Sadhana is a Hindu spiritual discipline (usually some combination of Vedic and Tantric practice) that focuses worship upon Devi (the Goddess, in Her various forms), who both creates and embodies all the Universe. Many devotees conceive Devi as the Supreme Energy (Shakti) of Shiva (Supreme Consciousness); both identical to and inseparable from Him. Others, the "pure Shaktas," worship Her as nothing less than ParaBrahman (the Ultimate Divine Principle) Itself, the One Without a Second, holding that all other forms of Divinity, female or male, are but Her diverse manifestations. Shakti Sadhana encompasses asana of all shakthis but not paisaachi and kshudra shakthis. Pauishachi is evil foces of ghosty origin and kshudra is evil devine forces. Both have nothing in common with shakthi sadhana. Shakti Sadhana main aim is to attain saarupya (looks) and sayujya (merger) with Adi Paraa Shakthi whose manifestations are lalita etc. There are various path in Shakti Sadhana. There is Durga -Durga and her manifestations, Lashmi, Kali , Tara, The Dasa Maha Vidyas in short. Essentially in each path THAT Mahaa Vidya is treated as supreme and rest as subordinate.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Hi Drekiuk (unable to decipher) Shakta is in deed the essence of advaita. There is no difference between Sri Vidya and Brhma Vidya. Panchadasi and Shodasi are the esoteric versions of the more open Vedic Gayatri. While the open portion of Vedic Gayatri has only three sentences (tripada), it has a secret fourth line. Sri Vidya includes all the four parts. LS proclaims Shivashaktyaikyaroopini.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 prapancha means prakarshana panjeekaranam.bhagavathy or amma is prapancha. For adwaithins amma or prapancha is a myth: bramha sathyam jaganmithya.please define what you mean by adwaittha?tantra is not adwaitha, I think. m.r.rajesh Send free SMS to your Friends on Mobile from your Messenger.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Dear Robert, My 2 cents.. as I studied this in sanskrit. Advaita is made up of 2 words 1) A - which is normally negation 2) dvaita -> which is 2. Hence this can be interpreted as "ONE" or also sometimes as Second to None, which again means One as there is no 2. Shiva And Shakti are one, as deptictedin ardhnareshwar. Shaktas are primarly believers of One, the Devi.
