Forms Of Shakti Worship

Women are accorded the highest respect in the Vedas and the Goddess worship was of primary importance to the Hindus.

Not only that, women Seers like Maitreyi were very popular

The Vedas mention Shakti in different aspects.

Durga ,the giver of Strength and destroyer of Evil Forces(this later became the worship of Kali),

Laxmi, the Provider of Wealth, and

Sarasvati, the Repository of Knowledge.

There are Five important Sukthas,

Purusha Suktham,

Narayana Suktha,

Vishnu Suktham,

Sri Suktham and

Durga Suktham.

Of the Upa Suktham we have the Saraswati Suktham.

Later the worship of Sakthi became two kinds.

Mantra and Tantra.

In the Mantra worship , Devi is worshiped through the Mantras while in the Tantra form She is worshiped through Mystical symbols.

Please read my post on Samayin and Kaulamarga-link provided at the end of the post.

The uniqueness of Hinduism is that one can worship God in any Form one pleases or likes.
