Tantra Yoga does affirm the existence of god, but in Yoga this god is not the creator of the cosmos - life and man were created by prakriti itself and everything proceeds from a primordial substance.
In the case of certain persons, Shakti can hasten the process of enlightenment; She helps them toward a more speedy arrival at samadhi. This God, to whom Patatnjali refers to as Ishvara, is more especially the God of Yogins. She can come to the help only of a yogin - that is, someone who has already chosen the Tantra Yoga Path.
