Shaktism or shakta comprises several trosinriktninger in Hinduism which Goddess worshiped primarily, even if the male aspect of the goddess or male gods also worshiped. The Goddess is seen in these traditions that the ultimate reality and is both creator and savior, but she herself is uncreated. Although we worship many different Goddesses in shaktismen one would think that they all manifest the same goddess, then, that all is Mahadevi , but in different forms. There are difficulties with the concept shaktism for the reason that certain sacred texts alone emphasizes the masculinity or femininity.
Goddess has two sides. One is good and calm, while the other is wild and dangerous. The good-natured side controlled most often by a male god, while the wild side is out of the male gods' control. Because of this, it is usually the wild goddesses Worshipped in shaktismen. It is believed that the Goddess is the highest principle, that she does not go by anyone. For this reason, they become untamed goddesses such as Kali and Durga popular.

In shaivismen seen Shiva the ultimate reality, while in the goddess shaktismen having that position. Shiva is the Goddess worshipers instead. A statement from shakti s why they are right, and not shivaiterna are: Shakti was Shiva's female partner and power, but Shiva Shakti would be a corpse. Shiva is therefore dependent on the Shakti in order to live. Shakti is Goddess.
