Our
scriptures, the repositories of Vedic wisdom embody a great corpus of
information on the origin of Sakti, her glory and the role played at various
stages in the evolution of the planet earth we live on. Among them, puranas take
pride of place in lifting curtain on her august position through stotras, dhyana
slokas, songs, tales embodying awe-some anecdotes, thrilling episodes and blood
curdling events ere. They trace out her origin and gradual rise till becoming
the Universal Mother, receiving rather wringing adoration even from the Triad,
deemed the All-time-Highest of divinities. With her multi-dimensional
both in fearful and pacific aspects, she extended succor infinite and guidance
timely to the celestials, particularly to Devendra when caught in the maze of insurmountable
anguish perpetrated by formidable asuras their own step brothers
born to Diti, the second wife of Kasyapa Maharshi, their venerable father.
She manifested herself in innumerable forms to put an end to the danava krityas
and successfully restored peace in is the worlds, in addition to reinstating
Devaraj times umpteen.
