Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswathi, a Shakta adept and guru, performing the Navavarana , a central ritual in 法會 (印度教)怛特羅密教 Shaktism, at the Sahasrakshi Meru Temple at Devipuram（英語：Devipuram），安德拉邦，印度，2005.
「怛特羅是性力派的聖經，……認為所有力量都有女性為主的本質，」
「The Tantras are the bible of Shaktism, [...] identifying all Force with the female principle in nature and teaching an undue adoration of the wives of Shiva and Vishnu to the neglect of their male counterparts. [...] It is certain that a vast number of the inhabitants of India are guided in their daily life by Tantrik teaching, and are in bondage to the gross superstitions inculcated in these writings. And indeed it can scarcely be doubted that Shaktism is Hinduism arrived at its worst and most corrupt stage of development」.[15]
