夏克提（天城体：शक्ति，英语：Shakti，英语发音：/ˈʃʌktɪ/），又译沙克蒂、沙克提、铄乞底，意为有力量、性力，或是给予力量（empowerment）。在印度教中，夏克提是宇宙初元的创造力量，也表示女神的生殖力，代表了推动整个宇宙的动能力量。为印度教性力派所崇拜的一种神祇和力量，代表性力派崇拜的一些女神（提毗）的活动力。性力有时会被人格化，成为一种十分类似于大神母，等同于摩诃提毗（所有的女神都被认为是摩诃提毗的化身）。有些学者怀疑，性力一词衍生自吠陀时代的主神因陀罗之妻舍脂的名字。

印度教性力派认为，女神的活动力/创造力构成了宇宙能量，性力派信仰夏克提女神是宇宙的本源。包括雪山神女帕尔瓦蒂的化身迦梨、杜尔迦以及萨拉斯瓦蒂，拉克什米都来源于夏克提女神的显化。因此在性力派看来，性力就是宇宙的最高存在（梵或无上我）。但在非性力派的印度教徒看来，性力或女神力量是作为提毗的配偶的男性神祇们，如（湿婆，毗湿奴，梵天等等）的阴性能量，代表至高存在的女性部分。夏克提女神使用所有的武器，她的配偶是湿婆，夏克提女神曼陀罗：Aim Hreem Kleem。

In Hinduism, Shakti (Sanskrit pronunciation: [ˈʃəkt̪ɪ]) (Telugu:శక్తి) (Tamil:சக்தி) (Devanagari: शक्ति; from Sanskrit shak, "to be able"), also spelled as Sakthi or Shakthi, meaning "power" or "empowerment," is the primordial cosmic energy and represents the dynamic forces that are thought to move through the entire universe. Shakti is the concept, or personification, of divine feminine creative power, sometimes referred to as 'The Great Divine Mother' in Hinduism. As the mother she is known as Adi Parashakti or Adishakti. In her avatar as Akshara Mandhapati, her power is her uncontrollable energy. On the earthly plane, Shakti most actively manifests through female embodiment and creativity/fertility, though it is also present in males in its potential, unmanifest form.
