Triniboy108 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I've come across the conclusion (yes i'm late) that possession is what sets the Shakti worship apart from the regular mainstream Hindu worship. Why do you think that this is how the Divine Mother chose to set apart her worship from the norm? What are some major differences between Shakti worship and regular sanatanist worship?

sunilsahota Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Shakti means energy...Energy is everywhere and energy has the ability to go into humans and object. People say maa is soo powerful how can she enter a person? If you take moving energy for example, my fingers typing requires the same energy as your fingers typing...they are both the same energy yet only a part of the universe's moving energy all together...so maa entering people is only a very very very very small percent of her energy. Also maa gave the boon to the gods and devotees that when ever there will be evil in this world, when ever my devotees call me i will be there. If not in my form i will use people to do my work. Kaliyugs evil is man so she is using man to do her work. Jai Mataji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triniboy108 Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 "Possession is normally thought of as part of the 'little tradition' and confined to low caste and poor people in rural areas. Goddess possession, however, takes place in urban as well as rural areas, by low and high castes and amongst the educated as well as the uneducated. It also can occur amongst men as well as women, though the later is the most common. Possession is a way that the Goddess makes herself manifest in the world and becomes available to her devotees. It allows verbal communication between the devotee and the Goddess and also allows the human vehicle participation in her power." http://www.philhine.org.uk/writings/tt_emergdevi.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
