Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Linda, Yes, you could say that Parvati is a form of Shakti. In other stories, Lord Shiva is married to the Divine Mother under different names, like Uma or Sati. They are all different forms of the Divine Mother. They are the Shakti of Siva. Shakti means energy, but it's also a term that's associated with the Divine Mother. If we chant the 108 names of the Mother, whether it's 108 names of Kali or Lakshmi, etc. there will be all the names of all the Goddesses in there somewhere. So the thing is that they are ALL THE SAME GODDESS! And the name Shakti will surely be in there somewhere also. You might say that the name Shakti is a little more general, like the name Devi. But it refers to the Energy of God. Hope that helps.
