  • An Exploration of Hindu Goddess Iconography Evyn Venkateswaran
    Venkateswaran 1 Devi: An Exploration of Hindu Goddess Iconography Evyn Venkateswaran ‘Devi’ is a collection of illustrations that emphasize the unifying feminine power in Hinduism, commonly known as shakti. Portrayed within are several deities that have unique ​ ​ stories and corporeal forms, re-contextualized through a modern lens. The ways in which I have achieved this is through my depiction of each of the goddesses, featuring a separate culture or ethnicity found within the Indian Subcontinent. This challenges the current market of Hindu illustrations where all goddesses share the same facial-features, skin-tone, and clothing. In addition, each of the artworks contain compositions that are unique and break away from the typical forward-facing, subject gazing directly at the audience compositions found in the aforementioned illustrations. Lastly, when creating my illustrations, I strove to capture a story or a meaning that would distinguish the identity of that specific deity. Initially, the technique in which I completed this project was through using either oil pastels or nupastels, later adding a layer of digital paint with Photoshop. However, due to different situational changes, I have finished my last images utilizing Procreate on my iPad Pro. With both situations, I focused on impressionistic mark-making, using several colors to create an iridescent quality in each of the pieces. Within my color palettes, I used golden-yellow in each of the pieces to draw significance between the goddesses, for example using the most amount of gold in Durga to emphasize how she’s the ultimate ​ ​ form of shakti. ​ My intent of displaying these images is through posters that can either be used as iconography within worship or hung up as decoration.

  • Shakta and Shakti by Usha Chatterji
    Shakta and Shakti By Usha Chatterji Source: Studies in Comparative Religion, Vol. 2, No.4. (Autumn 1968) © World Wisdom, Inc. www.studiesincomparativereligion.com THE cult of the Mother Goddess is as old as humanity. It is believed that in antiquity the cult extended to all the countries and thrived in all the civilizations from the Nile and Euphrates to the Aegean Sea; "Looking to the east of the Euphrates we see the Dusk Divinity of India, the Adya-Shakti and Maha-Shakti, or Supreme Power of many names as Gagadamba, Mother of the World, which is the Play of Her who is named Lalita," (Sir John Woodroffe). In India, the Great Mother has been worshipped from the Himalayan mountains in the north to Cape Comorin in the extreme south; the word Cape Comorin is a corrupted form of Kanya Kumari or Kumari Devi, the Virgin Daughter, as the goddess is often called. The Vedas speak much of the goddesses. Their images are radiant with beauty, power and intelligence. From the Vedas themselves the Shakta Tantras, cult-books of the Goddess, derive their inspiration. In the Rig-Veda the goddess Sarasvati receives much homage: "Pure, Sarasvati, with all her bounties, rich in thoughts, inspires us towards truth, causes in us the required virtues, Sarasvati by her divinity awakens in us consciousness, illumines us in our thoughts." She is intelligence, science, arts, and all knowledge. The word shakti comes from the root "shak," "to be able, to have power". Any thing, any activity, has power; if the power be not visible, it is latent.

  • Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati (Practicals of Dharma)
    Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati (Practicals of Dharma) By Paramahamsa Dr.Rupnathji There is nothing greater than guru, nothing greater than guru, nothing greater than guru, nothing greater than guru. Shiva is the instructor. Shiva is the instructor. Shiva is the instructor. Shiva is the instructor." - Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati, V, 63. This Sanskrit text, attributed to Siddha Gorakhnath, is divided into six chapters called Upadeshas. The Sanskrit edition used for this abstract is the Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati & Other Works of the Nath Yogis, Dr.Rupnathji, 1993. It is also very much worth consulting the English introduction, by Dr.Rupnathji, to the Siddha Siddhanta Sangraha of Balabhadra, Government Sanskrit College, Benares 1995. This introduction is out of copyright and we have also placed it on this site. The sections in this work are 1) origin of Pinda, 2) discussion of Pinda, 3) knowledge relating to Pinda, 4) foundation of Pinda. 5) unity of Pinda with the Supreme Reality (Parampada), and 6) the nature of the Avadhoot. The Parampada is also known as Anama, or the nameless. The Pinda itself is Shakti. Pinda means, literally, a ball or an egg. This egg is the cosmic egg or Macrocosm. and also the microcosmic egg, or the human being. It has six forms, called in this text Para (Supreme). Anadi (Without Origin), Adi (Origin), Mahasakara (Great Body), Prakrita (Natural Body) and Garbha (Womb-born Body), Each of these six aspects of Pinda has itself five factors, these being subdivided into five other divisions. So each of the six aspects of Pinda has 25 qualities. The five divisions partake of the nature of Space, Air, Water, Fire and Earth -- the five elements or Bhutas.
