心有灵犀一点通

  Shaktism is a branch of Hinduism dedicated to the worship of Shakti or Devi as the absolute,ultimate divinity.
  It is one of the three major denominations of Hinduism,along with Shiva and Vaishnavism.The main doctrine of Shaktism is that goddesses receive sexual power from the male gods as the source of creation and birth of all beings in the universe.
  The classic of it is the Tantra,which was produced around the same time as the later Puranas.
  This religion is particularly popular in Bangladesh and Assam.

The difference I found between Hinduism and Shaktism is as follow.Shaktism is one of the more commonly known sub-divisions within Hinduism. Shaktism shares the core beliefs held by all Hindus but with a notable emphasis on a feminine aspect of divinity, rather than a masculine one.

Shaktism, worship of the Hindu goddess Shakti (Sanskrit: “Power” or “Energy”). Shaktism is, together with Vaishnavism and Shaivism, one of the major forms of modern Hinduism and is especially popular in Bengal and Assam. Shakti is conceived of either as the paramount goddess or as the consort of a male deity, generally Shiva.
Many Hindus worship Shakti as the divine mother who calls for absolute surrender. Yogis regard Shakti as the power, lying dormant within the body as a coiled serpent (kundalini), that must be aroused and realized to reach spiritual liberation. Shaktism is an essential part of Hindu Tantra, a system of practices involving the worship of the goddess and designed to empower and release both mind and body.
