"The word yoni (Sanskrit योिन yoni) is
the Sanskrit word for "divine
passage", "place of birth",
"womb" in the sense of 'source of
life' rather than a human organ, or
"sacred temple" (cf. lila). The
word also has a wider meaning in both profane
and spiritual contexts, covering a range of
meanings of "place of birth, source,
origin, spring, fountain, place of rest,
repository, receptacle, seat, abode, home,
lair, nest, stable" (Monier-Williams).
The yoni is also considered to be symbolic of
Shakti or other goddesses of a similar
nature.
In classical texts such as Kama Sutra, yoni
refers to vagina."
