Guest guest Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 On this website (http://shaktisadhana.50megs.com/Resource/Messageboard/Saptamarikas.html) I have found some interesting information about the SaptaMatrkas and Matrkas but I am not sure if that is correct or where this concept is from. Here is written: The Hindu scholar Devdutt Pattanaik notes that the Seven Mothers are the "handmaidens of Chandi (Durga or Parvati), Who "declared Her seven handmaidens would be worshipped as virgin mothers." The concept of this group of goddesses as the handmaidens of Devi is new to me, I have read here about it for the first time. Has someone more information or knows from which scripture(s) this idea is taken? Protect your identity with Mail AddressGuard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
