In Hindu tradition, every masculine personification of God has a feminine counterpart, or [[Special:MyLanguage/shakti|shakti]]. The masculine creative power is activated by this feminine principle. Thus, Shiva’s action is crystallized in the world of form through his female counterpart. His hidden nature is made visible through her. Shiva’s shakti appears in three primary forms—as [[Special:MyLanguage/Parvati|Parvati]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Durga|Durga]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/Kali|Kali]]. | In Hindu tradition, every masculine personification of God has a feminine counterpart, or [[Special:MyLanguage/shakti|shakti]].
