Source: Wisdom Library: ŚāktismDhīśvarī (धीश्वरी, “Sovereign of Wisdom”):—One of the names of Mahāsarasvatī (sattva-form of Mahādevī). The Dhī of Dhīśvarī signifies thought, especially of a religious nature, such as meditation or prayer, or more generally reflection, intelligence, wisdom, knowledge, or art—all functions associated with sattva. Mahālakṣmī is one of the three primary forms of Devī. Not to be confused with Lakṣmī, she is a more powerful cosmic aspect (vyaṣṭi) of Devi and represents the guṇa (universal energy) named sattva. Also see the Devī Māhātmya, a Sanskrit work from the 5th century, incorporated into the Mārkaṇḍeya-Purāṇa.
Shakta (शाक्त, 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.
