When we talk about Hindu gods and their powers, the first things that come to our mind are probably Ram, Vishnu, Shiva and other major gods in India. While many of us are well-versed with these popular gods, there are other gods who also play an important role in our culture.

Lord Shiva represents that which is beyond the limitations of our physical existence. He is the purest form of consciousness itself. He is the state of “I Am”, the state of pure existence, free of all concepts, limitations, and dualities. He is beyond all forms, beyond all names and definitions.
Shakti is the power of consciousness to create, transform, and dissolve. She represents both the external world as well as our own inner world. She is the external world because she manifests all the external forms of nature and human life. She is the inner world because she brings forth the emotions and desires that lie within us.
Shakti is the ultimate power that permeates the entire universe. She is the mother of all creation, the power that gives life and movement to the world. She is the creative force and the energy that is behind all life.
