The yogi is then one who is Still (Ծ峦) and abides on the plane of an Avadhūta. He then performs the rite of adoration of the mitresses of Yoga and Śiva�.

Shakta (शाक्�, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
