Hindus: How does it feel for a male Shakta to worship a feminine representation of God?

Question

Knowing that the majority of religions on earth are lead by male models, lead by male clergy.

Aum: I agree with you! We have two kinds of mothers. The mother we were physically born from and the Divine Mother that borne us spiritually.

Answer 1

This is really great.... sitting in the lap of mother... enjoying her lullaby... is a great feeling which non-shaktas miss.

The whole Cosmos is Shakti.... our own being is 99% shakti... so if we are not shakta we are really not grateful to the Mother.

And i tell you everyone is a hidden shakta.. the god whom we worship...we worship Him for his shakti only for his attributes for his gunas... and all these things are Shakti.

Edit: even the physical mother get energy from Mother Shakti to give birth to child and to look after him..... it is mother Shakti who has been looking after..as physical mother and as Eternal Mother

Answer 2

MOTHER is a female; "Mother Divine" is a term used by followers of Hinduism to refer to the Mother of the Universe. She is also referred to as various manifestations of the Divine Feminine as Parvati (the wife of Lord Shiva), Saraswati (consort to Lord Brahma and Goddess of Knowledge and Speech), Lakshmi (Goddess of Wealth), and Durga (Goddess of Protection). Mother Divine is also referred to as Uma. Refer to Hinduism or Shaivism.

With out mother we would not have come here. So worshiping mother the representation of God ie. by a male Shakta is perfectly alright and there is nothing to feel otherwise-

Answer 3

God is neither male nor female.

It is only a energy.

Shiva is nothing ie energy which is dormant and when actived it become shakthi(energy).

Both are same in different forms.

It is easier to get attached with god as a female( like our mother).

Our senses can easily feel the movement.
So the movement of almighty is perceived as shakthi(Mother).

A shaktha should not stop with that, he has to realise the dormant one also.
