Shantyatitakalatmika (शान्त्यतीतकलात्मिका, IAST: śāntyatītakalātmikā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She whose essence transcends even the state of perfect peace”. From śānti (peace, the highest of the five kalās), atīta (beyond, transcending), kalā (partial power or phase of consciousness), and ātmikā (whose very self is), the name points to the Goddess as surpassing the uppermost stage of manifest consciousness.

Meaning, etymology & significance

In the Tāntric framework of the five kalās — nivṛtti, pratiṣṭhā, vidyā, śāntā, and śāntyatītā — the final stage śāntyatītā is that which is entirely beyond the reach of even transcendent peace. The Goddess is identified with this ultimate phase, which is pure, undivided, ineffable awareness beyond all categorisation. As Śāntyatītakalātmikā, she is recognised as that which cannot be captured by any framework, serene beyond serenity itself.

This profoundly philosophical name of Lalitā is prized in Śrīvidyā upāsanā for its Tāntric metaphysical precision. Its length and compound nature make it meditative in character rather than practical as a short given name.
