Thanks you for making me understanding about Shaktism...
As an Bengali i fell more Proud to be a Devotee of Maa Durga....
Bharat is special because the worship of Maa is unbroken - unlike anywhere in the world. 🙏
Sakti is the starting her hairs denotes many dharmas path of world she is destination of everyone in many forms
As a software developer I highly appreciate your analogy of the operating system and applications. I work with many great developers from India - to be entierly honest some of the best systems level programmers come from India to Greece where I live - and many of them have taught me over the years a profound respect and love for Hinduism. They teach me more and more each day, and whilst my practice may be very humble and simple it has brought great joy and peace to my life. Thank you for also contributing to my understeanding with your lovely and very informative video.
Lol I too loved that analogy. I am an aspiring hacker who's currently learning Python. Although I'm a Hindu from birth still I don't know anything about my own religion. Since childhood I have always been confused regarding my career and life. However it's in my school days when things got worse and I fell into some really bad addiction and that's where it all pushed me to find the truth at any cost!
Loved the Sanatana OS with the traditions as the apps, such a brilliant mental model. You are a thought leader for my generation, Sir.
I wish there were more videos from this channel. It's so difficult to come across this information in the West
A video worth watching ! I was quite surprised to know Durga Pooja had its root down south ! I was of the assumption that Bengal is the Seat of Durga Pooja … thank you so much for the brief introduction into Shaktha Worship 🙏
26:15 - I need to learn and implement this so badly in my life. I have a monstrous ego which constantly is judging, finding fault with, and often hating most everything and everyone around me. So many things trigger me and cause me to react, verbally, often in public, usually about music or what's on TV. I feel like society has gone dramatically downhill in just my own present lifetime, and I find myself constantly wishing, hoping and praying for the annihilation and destruction of this country (the United States), and the West in general. I hope that incorporating Shaktism into my life leads to the long overdue eradication of this toxic tendency within myself.
Really informative and scientifical video!
Please continue the great work!
Greetings from Hungary !
Shakt is the best form of Hinduism.
Wonderful! Thank you so much, sir!
Enjoyed the talk on Shakta Hinduism and its explanation . The chants are awesome.
Always a pleasure to hear about our past (and our future, when you take the PEO avtar) in your eloquent style. Keep making such videos for us, sir.
Your explanation of Sanatan dharma with the modern relatable language is very interesting 👌.
Wonderfully explained sir... Specially Loved the rendition of Devisuktam 🙏

May be Tridevs are worshipped as major Gods in hindusim,, but they all have one mother - Durgaaa, jagadamba🔱- also called Krishna(not कृष्ण its कृष्णा ), Vaishnavi,Narayani -from whom narayan bornt,Shaiva - from whom shiva bornt, Brahmani - from whom Brahma bornt ,, Jai Maa Mahismardini, she kept Vaikunth, Kailash, Brahmalok and Beyond many dimensions apart from these lokas in her womb 🙏☺ concept of Saktism 🚩🚩
Thank you very much, great explanation
Earliest idol of Durga in Mahisashurmardini form is found from Bharatpur ,Rajasthan and Mathura, Uttar pradesh. These idols belongs to Kushana period.

You should come with more videos on Shakta Yogini Tantrika
Dada write some history about bengali kings of last 600 years Raja ganesh, rani Bhavashankari, raja kedar ray, raja sitaram ray, raja Pratapaditya, bir hambir
Why wait, give it a shot yourself. Collect the material, visit the places. Never wait for someone else.
@@sanjeevsanyal8264 sir could you please suggest some books for better understand devi shuktam
Excellent presentation . I have watched twice and will likely watch again. I get stuck though on the subtle difference between transcendence and detachment. Are they not similar ?
Three important ambAs in my life: my biological ambA, bhAratAmbA, jagadambA.
Please please make more content on Shakta sir
Sadly the ism of Sanatan and Shakti I feel is British and Western influence. Loved the Hymns. Wish you would have been able to explain the overlapping of Sat, Raj and Tamas. That is how balance is achieved. I have the Mata as my family. She adopted me. And I often get my answers through her in various ways. I am not very ritualistic. I talk to her through the day and night. I don't understand how it all happened with me. But I am the fool she protects and loves despite me being me. I am attached and detached to the world too. And it is possible to be both.
" Gatistvam , gatistvam tvameka Bhavani " ;-)
Sir any book you recommend to know more about shaktism
Srikula and Kalikula 🕉😊
FYI vaishnavism does not consider the world maya. it is advaita vedantic view
There are people who claim that shankarAchArya was a vaiShNava. E.g., Dushyant Sridhar.
Sitaram Goel is of the view that Hinduism is a civilization and Hindu religion is part of that civilization. There is a famous book named " Hindu Chemistry" by famous scientist and scholar Acharya Prafulla Chandra Roy who invented nitrus oxide.. Did he mean religion chemistry?
It was when I came across the song God is a Woman by Ariana Grande which actually got me thinking maybe Ms Grande is right? And today I believe God is a Woman 🙏😉😊 through my research of Shakti belief
mhaishasur mardini - another name of devi in kolhapur in maharashtra : one of the 3 and half shakti peeths in maharashtra
We want m9re videos
Apologies, I am new to this community/religion/spirituality. Would it be suggested to learn Hindi and Sanskrit? Or is it mostly important to learn Sanskrit ?
@Śrīhaṭṭa Vaiśvānara I don’t see how feminism could be contrary to shaktism.
@@jae3765 he is not a Shakta
Always been a fan BUT unable to comprehend the logic of embracing Maya and being one with oneness . 2nd would love to know the history and background of eating Meat in the modern as well as religious context this will be a divisive force .
Must I be vegetarian to practice shakta?
It depends.
In some states were goddess worship is prevalent, they are lacto-vegetarians.
In others they are not.
Some eat goat meat and fish during Kālī pujam.
It depends on the state's culture and religious traditions.
It also depends on the village culture.
@@hermescarraro3393 ---thank you
Depends on sects. Vamachara and Dakshinachara. Vamachari eat meat. dakshinachari are veg
Eko brahma dityo nasti, neh na nasti kinchan... That means Almighty or brahm is one. Krishna, rama, shiva, vishnu, all are bhagwan or u may say gunna. If u worship these bhagwan that means they are ur ideal by which you desire same gunna in yourself. Now, maa durga is power of feminine energy, who has a power of shristi of this world. By worshipping maa durga, u can understand the power of woman, and message behind this is respect woman in every manner.
But Doesn’t also Krishna claim all those things? That everything comes from Him etc? Thank you
Every sect which is centered around a specific deity claims that.
@@onlyhereformusic2911 true.
Swam bhagwan Krishna Jo ki antim Supreme power hain unke ansh hain Maha vishnu Jo ananat universe ke ekmatra swami baaki sab unke ansh hain ek ek Universe ke Governor bramha vishnu Mahesh durga ganesh etc unke ansh hain.
Yahi asli satya hain sabhi vedshashtra ka nichoad hain magar bhagwan Mein chota bada nahi hain Isliye sabhi puran sahi hain
There is no Supreme or less supreme Gods or GOddesses in Hinduism. It's according to sects For Vaishnavas it's Vishnu or Kirshna, for Shaiva it's Shiva, for Shaktas it's Goddess Shakti, for advaita vedanta folowers God is Parabhram, formless, Nirguna. No God is less or greater than each other every God and Goddess is just different manifestations of the same reality. For Devotees He/she only takes forms otherwise God has no form. So, all paths are true.
Swam bhagwan Krishna ne arjun ko apna virat roop dikaya jisme ananat universe samay hue thae aur kaha ki mene hi sabko utpann kiya hain mujhe kisi NE nahi aur Jo aisa soache hain ki mujhe bhi kisi e banaya wo murkh hain aur nirakar roop Mera hi ansh hain bhagwan Krishna ne uddhav se kaha ki mere alawa to kuch hain hi nahi

I wish this was taught by a woman. I wish it wasn't framed in the views of men.
I'm a man and I agree. I'm not a Shakta, but I've always been interested in Goddess worship throughout human evolution, before the bronze-age. Women would have a grounded view on a Goddess, whereas men have male gaze.
The reason why the Shakta sect existed for thousands of years, till today, is because men were heavily involved. Feminism is 100 years old, and it may be shortlived. Shakti worship is here to stay.
shakta tradition is mainly practiced by Males... if u want a female perspective u can try vaishnavism
There are many videos regarding Shaktism on youtube produced by women. Search, for instance , for commentaries on the Durga Saptasati. Also devotional dance and singing which express the spirit of Maa Durga. Not all is intellectual exposition.
shakta practitioners are mostly men.. ladies are more into krishna bhakti..
