The Path of union of Shiva and Shakti

A Tantric overview

According to the philosophy of Tantra, the entire universe is a manifestation of pure consciousness. In manifesting the universe, this pure consciousness seems to become divided into two poles or aspects. These two aspects are called Shiva and Shakti. Shiva, is masculine, retains a static quality and remains identified with unmanifested consciousness. Shakti, is feminine, dynamic, energetic and creative. Shakti is the Great Mother of the universe, is from her that all form is born. Tantra teaches that the our inner Universe is a reflection of the Cosmos, microcosm and macrocosm are in correspondence. In this Course we will study Shaivism , the path of Shiva, and Shaktism , the path of Devi Shakti. We will explore these two through their historical and geographical lenses and sacred texts. We will embody these masculine and feminine principles , by deciphering the rich symbolism and methapors associated with the various iconographic forms of the God and Goddess. We will became acquainted with the tapestry of tantric Myths and learn how to use a vast array of techniques , such as Mudras (gestures) , Mantras and Yantras, the auditory and Visual tools used for Sadhanas ( spiritual and physical practices).
