In almost every ancient culture there was a Goddess who was worshipped as the supreme creator. Shakti is one of them, she is the most important Goddess in the Hindu Pantheon, she has the divine powers to create preserve and destroy. She rides a lion, bears a trident as a weapon, and is as pure and soft as a lotus.

You can call her by any name but for me every woman is Shakti ‘The Power’. You can identify her by any face but this is my portraiture of Shakti.

The female energy is Janani: ‘The Creator’, she carries the world within her and embodies the bounty of the earth.

Recharging your Shakti: Inner peace begins the moment you choose not to allow anyone or any event to control your emotions and let their behavior destroy your peace, so relax your body, quiet your mind and open your heart.

Don’t make “The Mask” your face, a mask that is decorated with a smile and a happy face, when you don’t feel that way.

“Let your story unravel, there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” -Maya Angelou
