Guest guest Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 According to the text of Devipurana, sage Narada once asked Lord Shiva" I have always seen you all three gods Brahma, Vishnu, and yourself engaged in meditation. Who is that higher one, greater then you, that is the object of your adoration? We do not know anyone more worthy of worship than you. Lord Shiva told Narada " That primordial and eternal being is Parashakti. She is the Parabrahman herself. She it is that creates, maintains and destroys all the world. Though she is truly formless, She incarnates herself as Parvati, Durga, Vaishno, Kalli and Saraswati............" According to Devibhagavata, the divine mother herself says: " There is only one reality and that is the truth. The truth and I are the same." In the same devipurana, Lord Vishnu admits that he is not a free being and that he only carries out the orders of the divine mother. If Brahma creates the world, Vishnu preserves it, and Shiva destroys it, it is only as machines - the one who motivates them is the divine mother herself. the divine mother is *** the Shakti.*** The gods, including Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwara, are subject to dissolution. But Shakti remains for ever, she has neither a beginning nor an end. Shiva and Shakti are complimentary to each other. When Shiva is joined to Shakti he becomes capable of action. Were it not so he would be incapable of movement. (saundarya lahari- verse 1) abstracted from the web Om parashaktayaii namaha!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
