Sakthi Sanskriti means the Ultimate power of Devi, the Goddess. The Heavens cannot sustain creation without her. The concept of Ardhnarishver- Shiva and Shakti, together benignly ruling the cosmos is unique to our culture. Women were always seen in the image of the goddess. Of course, the goddess is still revered as the Mother Goddess, but people seem to have forgotten her human form. A salute to the Feminine I –Shakti –the many roles and indispensable contribution of women on Planet Earth! Let us also salute the compassionate, loving, kind, forgiving, healing and nurturing aspects of all women.
