Q1. What is a Tantric goddess?


In Tantra, the supreme reality is characterized as the primeval goddess or Adi-Shakti, Prakriti, whose innumerable forms empower the task of creating, nurturing, and annihilating the world, alongside the primordial male element- Purusha. A Tantric goddess is the potent manifestation of the powers and different roopa (forms) of the Adi Shakti worshipped by her followers for significant material and spiritual gains. These goddesses can either be worshipped in clusters- Dasa Mahavidya (Ten Great Wisdoms), Chausatha Yogini (64 members of the Great Goddess’s army) or individually as Mahakali, Tara, Vajrayogini, Kamala, and Tripurasundari.

Every Woman a Goddess - The Ideals of Indian Art
"...the originator of families, the preserver of the established order and the perpetuator of traditions...As the Great Goddess rules the heavens, her earthly counterpart, the woman, rules the home..." The living traditions of India have always identified the female of the species with all that is sacred in nature. But it is not always the warrior woman who is identified with the goddess, but also woman as playful, lovable, and of course as the Mother. In a delightful vein it is conjectured that the kick of a woman is sufficient and necessary for blossoms to spring from the sacred Ashoka tree.
Devi : A Journey Through Texts and Contexts
"Rigveda acclaims that \'he who is described as male is as much the female....When invoking her in her entirety, describing her beauty, limb to limb, these hymns did not stop short of anything....Devi Bhagavata is the foremost of scriptures that consider Devi as the Adishakti, the divine power that preceded all things, all beings and all gods....Devi Mahatmya in the Markandeya Purana and other texts relate her origin to the elimination of Mahishasura, a mighty demon who once ruled the earth.....She also created her \'shaktis\', subordinate powers.....As Kali she was ferocious, as Durga, valorous, and as Parvati, Uma or Gauri, lovable and incomparably beautiful."
Conception and Evolution of The Mother Goddess in India
"The Mother Goddess is India\'s supreme Divinity... In fury or in frown, she is always the same protective, caring, loving Mother with a benign face and a blessing hand... In her material manifestation, She represents, with absolute motherhood, also the absolute womanhood. She causes life and sustains it, and is also the cause of life, its inspiration and aspiration, and the reason to live... She is the eternal upholder of Dharma and truth, the promoter of happiness and the giver of salvation and prosperity but also of sorrows, grief and pain... As Adi Shakti, She represents Prakriti, which operates in and on all things, the manifest or otherwise, materially present or abstract..."
Shakti - Power and Femininity in Indian Art
"The earliest term applied to the divine feminine... is Shakti... Specifically, Shakti means power, force and feminine energy. She represents the fundamental creative instinct underlying the cosmos, and is the energizing force of all divinity, of every being and every thing... The yoni or female generative organ is... venerated for its obvious properties of fertility and growth... While Durga is the most potent icon to express the aggressive and destructive behavior of Shakti, Lakshmi is the quintessential goddess who proclaims her creative aspect... (It) is emphasized in the Gandharva Tantra (that) \'She who is the sun, moon, and fire, lays down the purusha (male) and enjoys him from above.\'..."
The Ideals of Motherhood - Aesthetics of Form and Function
"providence has blessed women with the primary responsibility of the perpetuation of the human race. Understandably her physical body has been richly endowed for this glorious function… To the connoisseur of Indian aesthetics, the profusion of voluptuous women dominating its canvas comes as no surprise… But while celebrating the female body in glorious images the artist never loses sight of the fact that whatever nature creates, it creates with a purpose. No form is accidental and every natural form must have a divinely ordained function. Whatever be the artistic representation, it must glorify this inherent natural function…"
From Heaven to Household : The Many Tales of Shakti
"A virgin blooming with fresh youth, the luster of her body was like the rising sun. Three-eyed, her face was endowed with the beauty of ten million cupids (Kamadeva)...Blossoming breasts which surpassed even the buds of a lotus (in softness)...Wishing to pay obeisance to her, the gods then got down from their chariot and approached the goddess. No sooner had they done so than she transformed them all into beautiful, young maidens....A weak man is declared to be without any Shakti, nobody says that he is without Shiva, or without Vishnu. They are all called Shakti-less; no one says that this man is Shiva-less…"
Mother Goddess as Kali - The Feminine Force in Indian Art
This article highlights maa kali role in overcoming ignorance and evil, portraying her as a protector of the weak and a force of empowerment. The text delves into her origins in the Shakti tradition and her association with the divine feminine. Additionally, it touches on her worship practices and the cultural significance of Kali in various regions of India. Kali\'s fierce appearances have been the subject of extensive descriptions in several earlier and modern works. Though her fierce form is filled with awe- inspiring symbols, their real meaning is not what it first appears. Mother Goddess as Kali - The Feminine Force in Indian Art: An article exploring symbolism behind the Great Indian Goddess Kali, using her representations in art for explanation.
Durga - Narrative Art of a Warrior Goddess
"...The Great Goddess Durga was born from the energies of the male divinities...The awesome three-eyed Goddess was adorned with the crescent moon...seas trembled as the Goddess engaged the Great Demon Mahisasura...Thus the reveries of Mahisa are exterminated..."
Parvati - Goddess of Love & Devotion - Hindu Goddess
"In classical mythology the raison d\'кtre of Parvati\'s birth is to lure Shiva into marriage and thus into the wider circle of married life from which he is aloof as a lone ascetic, living in the wilds of the mountains. The goddess represents the complementary pole to the ascetic, world-denying tradition in the Hindu ethos. In her role as maiden, wife, and later as a mother, she extends Shiva\'s circle of activity into the realm of the householder, where his stored-up energy is released in positive ways."
Wisdom Goddesses - Mahavidyas and the Assertion of Femininity in Indian Thought
Each of the Devi\'s manifested forms made Shiva realize essential truths, made him aware of the eternal nature of their mutual love and most significantly established for always in the cannons of Indian thought the Goddess\'s superiority over her male counterpart. Not that Shiva in any way felt belittled by this awareness, only spiritually awakened. This is true as much for this Great Lord as for us ordinary mortals. Befittingly thus they are referred to as the Great Goddess\'s of Wisdom, known in Sanskrit as the Mahavidyas (Maha - great; vidya - knowledge). Indeed in the process of spiritual learning the Goddess is the muse who guides and inspires us. She is the high priestess who unfolds the inner truths.
A Kali in Every Woman : Motherhood and the Dark Goddess Archetype
"It is well established in the canons of Indian thought that every woman mirrors in herself the divine feminine... Envisioned as totally naked, the visual tales of her terrible form do not end with her dense black color or with the skirt made up of decapitated hands...(or) the necklace made up of heads she has severed from the torsos of beings...The truth behind the mystery of Kali, it seems, is to not be found by a conventional appraisal of her physical appearance....it is the female of the species who comes out with honors here, by resolutely establishing that when they are wives and when they progress to being mothers, Kali forms an integral part of their characteristic buildup."
