The union of cosmic consciousness with creative energy as tantric goal

For Tantra, Shiva and Shakti are the masculine and feminine that penetrate and animate all things of creation.




Unity in Tantra, symbolizes the union of Shiva with Shakti, the masculine polarity of the feminine polarity of the cosmos. while Shiva is identified symbolically with white cum, moon, passivity and consciousness, Shakti, is associated the red blood, the sun, activity and nature. Shiva and Shakti are an inseparable combination. The goal of Tantra is to transfer that transcendent fusion of the two principles to the individual. Tantrism emphasizes the dynamic aspect of the Divine, represented by Shakti, rather than putting it in the Self, represented by Shiva. 


  • Shakti is the power and energy of consciousness arising from Shiva, is force of creation, nature and strength, change, spiritual transformation and destruction of the ego. It is the universal, female, active, moody mother, the complex mind-matter, the set of all psycho-physical activities, all in motion, which thus becomes the power of Shiva, the Self
  • Shiva in turn, is the substrate of the universe, the static charge fruitful fecundity all by Shakti. Contains the all-embracing, it emits and reabsorbs. Unlimited, transtemporal, immeasurable, the great peacemaker, the imperturbable, the giver of life, the lord of life and death, the Lord of the chakras, the observer, the witness consciousness.

The release is to return to Shakti for her lead us to Shiva. This is achieved only through the proper attitude and discipline.
