What are the names of goddess Shakti when she is worshiped as universal mother?
MOTHER GODDESS – Goddesses are worshiped when God is thought of as the Universal Mother. Particular forms of the Universal Mother include – -Lakshmi, -Sarasvati, -Parvati, -Durga, and -Kali. Shaktism recognizes SHAKTI as the supreme goddess. The concept of MAHADEVI as the supreme goddess emerged in historical religious literature as a term to define the powerful and influential nature of female deities in India. Throughout history, goddesses have been portrayed as the mother of the universe, through whose powers the universe is created and destroyed. The gradual changes in belief through time shape the concept of Mahadevi and express how the different Goddesses, though very different in personality, all carry the power of the universe on their shoulders. JAGADDHATRI and MARIAMMAN are other significant female deities.
