Guest guest Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Meenakshi devi, is the beautified form of the goddess mahakali, as legend has it... Goddess Parvati took the form of the ten primal goddesses, they are the ultimate and the most powerful female dieties. Known as the Dasha Mahavidyas. These ten goddesses then took different forms, shodasi took that of lalita ambaa, tara to shamshana tara so on... Meenakshi, is the beautified form of kalika, since many relate mother kali into occult, aghora and sheer destructiveness, there had to be an expression of her love and maternal feelings. Meenakshi mother is just an expression of this, the link is the lotus like eyes shaped as fish. This is common in tara, yogini, kamakhya, kamakshi, Kali, kurukulla, maha lakshmi and Parvati. That just shows they are one and the same. Careers- 1,000's of jobs waiting online for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
