Picture of Devi

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

Would it be possible for me to use of one of Devi's pictures from the

Shakti-Sadhana site in my article. I noticed there are a lot of them in

the picture section. I am looking for the form of the Devi who is

benevolent and kind. I was thinking Lakshmi and/or Sarsvati.

 

Please let me know.

Thanks and Namaste

I propose :Trisati Devi is the best pic [the combination of all the

three ] sarasvati, Lashmi and Parvati. Look in the photogallery of

the SS.

Dear Nora-Ji:

 

That is indeed a beautiful picture. Thank you. After some reflection I

chose to not use the picture of Devi in the article at this time but am

open to the possibility of adding it later on. I explained my reason in

the section of the article titled * " Appearance of the Supreme Goddess " .*

 

" The Goddess is depicted in Hindu art in hundreds if not thousands of

ways. This art is part of the Indian history, culture, and Hindu

traditions. It comes from the inspired imagination of the artists and is

based on the ancient stories about the Goddess and Her powers. "

 

" However, no artwork can really capture the form of the Goddess who

appears in the mystic eye of the aspirant. She appears to each devotee

in a unique way according to what best suits the nature and personality

of the person at that time. As the yogi evolves in the spiritual path,

the visionary forms of the Goddess can change along with that. "

 

Does that make sense? Comments and feedback from esteemed members is

welcome.

 

The full article can be read.

 

 

 

Namaste and love to all

Harsha

I am Manifest, Unmanifest and Transcendent Divinity,

I am Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva

As well as Saraswati, Laksmi and Parvati

I am the Earth, The Sun and the Stars

And I am the also the Moon

I am all animal and birds,

And I am the outcast as well, and the thief

I am the low person of dreadful deeds,

And the great person of excellent deeds

I am Female. I am Male and I am Neuter

 

In the Devi's Supreme Cosmic Form,

The Satyaloka is situated on the topmost of Her head;

The Sun and Moon are her eyes;

The quarters of the sky are Her ears;

The Vedas are Her words;

The Universe is Her heart;

The Earth is Her loins;

The space between earth and sky is Her navel;

The constellations are Her Thighs;

The Maharaloka is Her neck;

The Janarloka is Her face;

Indra and the Devas of the Svarloka are her arms;

Sound is the organ of Her ears;

Fire is within her Face;

Day and Night are Her wings;

The mountains are Her bones;

The rivers are Her veins,

And the trees are the hairs of Her body.

Childhood, youth, and old age are Her finest modes;

The two twilights are Her raiment;

And the Moon is the mind of the Mother of the Universe.

~ Devi Bhagavata Purana, VII.33.1-21

 

 

I travel with the Rudras and the Vasus, with the Adityas and All-

Gods I wander. I hold aloft both Varuna and Mitra, Indra and Agni,

and the Pair of Asvins.

 

I cherish and sustain high-swelling Soma, and Tvastar I support,

Pusan, and Bhaga. I load with wealth the zealous sacrificer who

pours the juice and offers his oblation

 

I am the Queen, the gatherer-up of treasures, most thoughtful, first

of those who merit worship. Thus Gods have stablished me in many

places with many homes to enter and abide in.

 

Through me alone all eat the food that feeds them,-each man who

sees, brewhes, hears the word outspoken. They know it not, but yet

they dwell beside me. Hear, one and all, the truth as I declare it.

 

I, verily, myself announce and utter the word that Gods and men

alike shall welcome. I make the man I love exceeding mighty, make

him a sage, a Rsi, and a Brahman.

 

I bend the bow for Rudra that his arrow may strike and slay the

hater of devotion. I rouse and order battle for the people, and I

have penetrated Earth and Heaven.

 

On the world's summit I bring forth the Father: my home is in the

waters, in the ocean. Thence I extend o'er all existing creatures,

and touch even yonder heaven with my forehead.

I breathe a strong breath like the wind and tempest, the while I

hold together all existence. Beyond this wide earth and beyond the

heavens I have become so mighty in my grandeur.
