The super power itself is established as Parabrahma, which keeps performing many activities in different forms.

Shardiya Navratri 2024: Sharadiya Navratri of 2024 is going on. This festival of worship of ‘Shakti’ is celebrated with great pomp throughout the country according to its traditions. In this environment full of devotion to Shakti, it becomes inevitable to describe the form of Bhagwati Jagadamba in simple words. Shakti is also addressed by the name ‘Mata’. Among the 108 Shakti Peethas of Adi Shakti, there is also a Shakti Peetha named ‘Mata’.

Mother’s place in the universe is considered paramount. The glory of mother’s love is limitless. It cannot be denied that every person offers his utmost devotion at the feet of his mother. The reason behind this is that a person gets his first glimpse of the world from the loving lap of his mother. Mother alone graces the place of the first or original Guru of all living beings. Mother’s compassion and kindness is the basis of children’s worldly and spiritual welfare.

perhaps this is the reason ‘May you be the mother god, may you be a father god, may you be a teacher.’ For example, in the scriptures, mother’s place comes first. The form of super power Jagadamba is huge. Mother Bhagwati herself describes her huge form in Devi Bhagwat Purana. Come in this holy festival of Shardiya Navratri Columnist and expert on religious subjects, Dr. Mahendra Thakur Let us know about this huge form of Bhagwati.

In the Devi Bhagavata Purana, while answering the questions of Lord Brahma, Goddess Bhagwati Jagadamba says, “I and Parabrahma are always one, there is no difference between us; Because I am what they are, and what I am, that is what they are. The difference between us is visible only due to the illusion of the intellect. At the time of destruction of the universe, I am neither a woman, nor a man, nor impotent. But when creation begins again, this difference as before is created by the intellect.

I am Wisdom, Shree, Dhriti, Kirti, Memory, Shraddha, Intelligence, Kindness, Shame, Appetite, Thirst, Forgiveness, Radiance, Peace, Thirst, Sleep, Tandra, Zara, Azra, Vidya, Avidya, Spruha, Desire, Shakti, Strength, fat, marrow, skin, vision, truthful speech, differences in speech like Para, Madhya, Pasyanti etc. and all the different types of nerves – I am all those. What am I not in this world and what is different from me? Therefore, Brahma ji, you should definitely know that I am everything”.

“I am present everywhere in this universe. Certainly, I reside among all the gods in different names and appear in the form of power and perform valor. I am present in the form of Gauri, Brahmi, Raudri, Varahi, Vaishnavi, Shiva, Varuni, Kauberi, Narasimhi and Vasavi Shakti. When all the tasks are present, I enter those gods and complete all the tasks by making the particular god my instrument.

I appear as per my wish in the form of coolness in water, warmth in fire, light in the sun and light in the moon. No living being in the world can even vibrate without me. Similarly, if I leave Shiva, he will become powerless and will not be able to kill the demons. That is why even in this world people call a very weak man powerless.

People do not call a lowly human being Vishnuhin or Rudrahin but call him powerless. The one who has fallen, has ejaculated, is frightened, has become unconscious or has become under the control of the enemy, is not called Arudra in the world, but is called weak.

“Brahma ji, when you also want to create, then Shakti is the reason behind it. Only when you are empowered, you can become a creator. Similarly, Vishnu, Shiva, Indra, Agni, Moon, Surya, Yama, Vishwakarma, Varun and Vayudevata also perform their work only after being endowed with power. When the earth is filled with power, it becomes stable and capable of holding everyone.

If it becomes powerless then it will not be able to hold even a single atom. Sheshnag, Kachhapa and the ten giants are able to complete their tasks only by getting my power. If I want, I can drink the water of the entire world, destroy fire and stop the movement of air, I do as I want.”

After saying this to Lord Brahma, Goddess Bhagwati says, “Whenever there will be fear of demons in front of the gods, at that time my powers will appear in the form of beautiful goddesses like Varahi, Vaishnavi, Gauri, Narasimhi, Sadashiva and other goddesses and will save them. Will remove fear”. Goddess Bhagwati, in the form of her power, handed over Mahasaraswati to Lord Brahma, Mahalakshmi to Lord Vishnu and Mahakali Gauri to Lord Shankar.

There is special importance of reciting the huge form of the Goddess in Shardiya Navratri. In reality, the super power itself is established as Parabrahma, which keeps performing many activities in different forms. With his power Brahma creates the world, Vishnu maintains him and Shiva destroys him, hence he is the Adinarayani Shakti who creates, maintains and destroys the world.

These same superpowers are revered in the form of nine Durgas and ten Mahavidyas and these same superpowers are Goddesses Annapurna, Jagaddhatri, Katyayani, Lalita and Amba. Goddesses like Gayatri, Bhuvaneshwari, Kali, Tara, Bagala, Shodashi, Tripura, Dhumavati, Matangi, Kamala, Padmavati, Durga etc. are the forms of Bhagwati. These are Shaktimati and Shakti, they are both male and female.

Being devoid of power is emptiness. A powerless man is not respected anywhere. Dhruva and Prahlad are worshiped only because of their devotion. Gopikas became revered in the world only because of the power of love. The power of celibacy of Hanuman and Bhishma, the power of poetry of Valmiki and Vyas, the power of bravery of Bhima and Arjun, the power of truth of Harishchandra and Yudhishthir provide inspiration to all the people to pay respect to these Mahatmas.

Everywhere power has primacy. Goddess Bhagwati herself declares in verse 52 of Chapter 15 of the first canto of Shrimad Devi Bhagwat Purana. ,सर्वं खल्विदमेवाहं नान्यादस्ती सानातनम्, That means I am the entire universe, apart from me there is no eternal element.
