Advaita in Shaakta: Advaita Principles in Shaakta Religion

‘A’– none, ‘dvaita’ – dual – Advaita means there is no-two or non-duality. This theory was propounded and globalised by Sree Adi Sankara. He also established the Shanmata, six sub-religions of Hindu religion. Shaakta – the worshipers of Shakti, is one of those six sub-religions. When advaita is expounded by Sree Adi Sankara in all his teaches, works, discourses, etc., this book tries to address the advaita principles in Shaakta religion. Again there are very many texts relating to Shakti and hence owned by Shaakta religion. Dealing with all those in one work is humanly impossible. Hence an attempt has been made taking into consideration three texts viz., Lalita Sahasranama, Soundaryalaharee and Saptashatee. No one in the present day world can talk of anything about advaita or Shaakta without quoting Sree Kanchi Kamakoti Paramacharya. Hence his talks have been taken as primary input for this book. Let the readers be blessed by Paramacharya and by Sree Devee Om Tat Sat
