    Shaivism and Shaktism

    Sadly, no. I've been busy with work, we've also had some car troubles. The terrible irony is that I work at an auto shop XD I do plan on returning, however, once I've straightened things out and probably sometime when more people are there

    Shaivism and Shaktism

    What are the main differences between the theology of these two sects ? Does Shaivism believe that shakti is required for the creation of the physical world ? And if Devi is supreme in Shaktism, does that mean that Shiva is another form of The Godess ?

    Sri Guru Granth Sahib verse

    I could see how translating it in such a way could misgive the message of the text. Do you know of any passages referring to Karma or is it just presupposed by Sikhs because of the religions close proximity to Hinduins ?
