Kriyāśakti (devanāgarī: क्रियाशक्ति) is a Sanskrit term that could be translated as "power to do or to create" (from kriya, "action", and shakti, "power"). It is the name of one of the six shaktis in Hinduism.
Mme. Blavatsky defined it as: "The power of thought; one of the seven forces of Nature. Creative potency of the Siddhis (powers) of the full Yogis."[1]
