Uma is Shiva's consort, representing Prakriti (matter). The destructive power must always be associated with the destructible material in order for this power to be realized. In other words, destruction no longer has any meaning without a destructible object. Therefore, Shiva has chosen Uma to be his partner.
Gods and goddesses are the first self-revelation of the Absolute, man is the personification of the passive aspect and woman, the activating energy ( Shakti ). Goddess Parvati (Uma) represents this Universal Power ( Shakti ). Um a and Parvati are his girl's names; and Mrudani and Ambika are his post-marital names.
The Goddess is also referred to as Annapurna which means 'Feeder of Food' ' Anna ', although translated as 'food', has a broader connotation and includes all material things/wealth, which is food for the five sense organs. The Goddess has all kinds of 'food' to offer to her devotees.
The three Goddesses together are represented by the fierce looking Goddess Durga or Kali . He is shown in a terrifying form. Kali is worshiped by a seeker to invoke the latent destructive power and thereby destroy all his negative tendencies and qualities that cover his Higher Self.
Durga manifests itself from Mahavidya , unrestrained by the body of Gods glorified in the Vedas , the unrestrained, wild and restless energy of the cosmos.
Brahmi comes out of Brahma's body and rides a goose holding the scriptures of wisdom and the melodious Veena (musical instrument) in his hands. Some worship her as Saraswati .
From Indra rides Indrani , rides an elephant and carries Lightning. Kumari rises from Kumara or Kartikeya on a peacock. From Vishnu rides Vaishnavi riding an Eagle with a spinning disc on his finger. Narasimhi comes out of Narasimha riding a raging lion. From Varaha comes Varahi , a pig with sharp tusks. Finally Sivani or Sambhavi comes out of Shiva riding a bull carrying a trident remembering him as Rudra of the Vedas .
7 This Sakti became a frightening creature. They rose into the sky and merged with each other in a dazzling power of light. From the heavenly light emerged a beautiful, seductive yet serene Goddess. The gods watched him with admiration and respect. They knew him before as dark Kali in his Tamasic form . Mother Kali conquered the domination of darkness and ignorance prevailing in the world in that role. In her form as Durga, she is red and white. Dewi is concerned with the growing ego (which is Rajas and hues red ) in the world. He not only wanted to get rid of that evil power but also wanted to take care of those loyal to him whoSaatvic (the Saatvic trait is represented by white) naturally.
The number seven is very important in the Upanishads . It may be interesting to know that the sacrificial fire ( Sapta-archishaha ) totaled seven represent the seven Sakti mentioned above. These are Aahavaneeaya, Gaarhapatya, Dakshinaagni, Sabhya, Avasthya, Prajaahita and Agnidhreeyaa .
Agni is also supposed to show himself as the seven fires ( sapta-jihva ), the so-called tongues of fire symbolizing the tongues of the Seven Ways . These are: Kali, Karali, Manojava, Sulohita, Sudhumravarna, Sphulangini and Visvaruchi who are terrible, have the speed of thought, are very red, are colored like thick smoke, emit sparks and have innumerable sparks. Kali gets its name from one of the black flames. Primordial energy contemplated as fire.
Sapta praanaah prabhavanti tasmaat saptaarchishah samidhah sapta jihvaah |
Sapta ime loke yeshu charanti praanaah guhaasayaan-nihitaah sapta-sapta ||From the Supreme Principle are born the seven sense organs, the seven fires, the seven sacrificial sticks (used in the Yajna), and the seven fires, and these seven worlds in which the moving sense organs are kept by the creator in groups of seven and seven.
The Seven Ways joined together to become a beautiful goddess who would not submit to the authority of humans, beasts or gods, let alone demons. That is the need of today to get rid of the great evil and darkness that threatens the world.
She reveals to the confused and terrified that she is Durga , the inaccessible, Prakriti , the substance that gives form and identity to all things, Sakti , the power that enables all living things to feel, act and react and Maya , the delusion that makes life possible. captivating yet elusive.
The gods saluted him and implored him to immediately resolve their problems and worries, for Siva in his moment of weakness made the demon Mahishasura (the black bull tamasa) invincible to any of them.
Durga says; "Give me your weapon and I will destroy him who even tries to dominate me".
Shiva gave his Trisula, Vishnu gave his Disc and Gadanya, Indra gave his Lightning, Kumara gave his Spear, Brahma gave his Bow (Brahmastra). Then Durga, riding a lion given by Narasimha, defeated the demon and brought happiness for all and peace for the world.
Durga defeats the demonic forces in the war, which culminates in the death of Mahishasura . For a yoga practitioner, this is an allegory of kundalini shakti that destroys the basic instincts of Tamasic and emerges as the winner over lethargy, ignorance and lethargy, of which a buffalo is a perfect living example.
With the name Kanyakumar i, and decided to remain Kanya (unmarried girl for all time) and to live a life without attachments but active participation.
People adore her as Durga and consider her more accommodating, ready in moments of trouble and during their happy hours than Mother Kali .
People paying homage to Durga sang her glory with Durga Gayatri.
Kaatyaayanaaya vidmahe kanyakumaari dheemahi tannoe Durgihi prachoedayaat ||We meditate on Durga who belongs to Kaatyaayan Gotra, and who is a brilliant girl. May Durga encourage us (in all our deeds and thoughts).
