She is Durga, the universal Mother. 2.Mahakali : as Overwhelming intensity. Force and strength are Her peculiar powers. 3. MahAlaksmi : as the Mother of power and perfection 4. MahAsaraswati : As the Mother of power and perfection. ***************************************************************** These are from my own personal notes, but I like to invite our experience sadhak and sadhika to make further comment on this …. When the Mahadevi wishes to create the cosmos, she does so without effort or desire. Through the creative forces, she became two portion. One , she remain Nirguna Sakti, but she also became three saktis that are involved in the creation : Sattvic Saktis, Rajasic Saktis, and Tamasic Saktis. Her Sattvic aspect becomes Mahalakshmi, the Rajasic aspects becomes MahaSarawati and her Tamasic aspects becomes MahaKali. >From The Srimad Devi BhAgavatam, First Book, Chapter II "… I call to my mind, the Mother of all the worlds who creates this universe, when nature is both real ( taking gross, practical point of view) and unreal ( taking a real point of view ), preserve and destroys by Her Rajasik, Sattvik and Tamasik qualities and in the end resolves all these into Herself and plays it alone in the period of Dissolution" "SivA is beyond PrAkritic attributes, eternal and ever omnipresent; SHE is without any change, immutable, unattainable but by Yoga; SHE is the refuge of the universe and HER nature is Turiya Chaitanya. MahALakshmi is Her Sattviki Sakti, Sarasvati is Her Rajasik Sakti and MahA Kali is Her Tamasik Sakti; these are all of feminine forms" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MahAsaraswati : As the Mother of power and perfection. Mahasaraswati is also Jnana Shakti, the Power to Know. But your last two defibitions are identical. There's no difference between Lakshmi and Saraswati? Except that oe is Sattvic and one is Rajasic? > Through the creative forces, she became two > portion.

But in the Devi Mahatmyam, isn't it implied that Lakshmi is Rajasic (and red as a bimba fruit), and Saraswati is Sattvic (and white as the moon)? And Kali devotees tend to insist that it's Kali who is the TRUE Sattvic Shakti. The Gunas seem very fluid to me, and each of the Mothers can play every role. -- Len/ Kalipadma ______________ Juno Platinum $9.95. Juno SpeedBand $14.95.

Except that oe is Sattvic and one isRajasic? The above is not my definations. I did mention : The Four Great aspect of the Divine Mother as interpreted by the author. I am making an extractions from the Bhavani Nama Sahasra stutih : english translation and commentary by Jankinath Kaul "Kamal" "According to the Srimad Devi Bhagavatam, First Book, Chapter II. But in the Devi Mahatmyam, isn't it implied that Lakshmi is Rajasic (and red as a bimba fruit), and Saraswati is Sattvic (and white as the moon)?' Yes! it also depends on who interprete what right? Len reply : And Kali devotees tend to insist that it's Kali who is the TRUE Sattvic Shakti. The Gunas seem very fluid to me, and each of the Mothers can play every role. It is quite obvious right. Lalita Devotees will insist that lalita is The Supreme and all the others are subordinate to HER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
