A Theological Phenomenology of Shakti in Shakta Praxis
This article develops a theological phenomenology of Shakti within Shakta praxis, arguing that Shakti is not an attribute of the Divine but the self-reflexive, kinetic ontology of the Absolute . Engaging Advaita, Trika, and Srividya sources, it integrates metaphysics, ritual embodiment, and lived theology. Praxes like the use of mantras, various nyāsas, emerge as epistemology, grounding a world-affirming, panentheistic non-dualism. It discusses cognition and evnagelical Christianity too.
