| '''Śakti''' (devanāgarī: शक्ति) from [[Sanskrit]] ''Śak'', "to be able," meaning ''force'' or ''empowerment''. Shakti is the female ''primordial cosmic energy'' and represents the dynamic forces that are thought to move through the entire universe in [[Hinduism]]. In [[Theosophy]] it is seen as the female counterpart of the male [[Fohat]].
