Shakti

In Tantra, the goddess Shakti is the primordial deity, her name coming from the Sanskrit word shak, meaning "power."

In the Tantric model, it's Shakti who brings healing and enlightenment to the god Shiva, just as Neytiri does with Jake.

It has been said by one: beware the left, the cult of Shakti.

In some cases a single female personating the Shakti is to be procured.

Such is the preliminary called the purification of the Shakti.

The Great God thus addresses Shakti, when he asks her to describe the duties of women.

This is why, in India, woman has been described as the symbol of Shakti, the creative power.
