Hindu Deities - Adi Parashakti

Adi Parashakti

Adi Shakti is the concept, or personification, of divine feminine creative power, sometimes referred to as 'The Great Divine Mother' in Hinduism. She is regarded as the one who remote controls trinity, Devas, planets and other heavenly bodies. Scriptures refers her as the originator of all. Scientifically, Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but changes from one form to another. Adi(Never Ending) Para(Beyond) shakti(Energy) is Divine Energy beyond universe. She took many forms. Srimad Bhagwat Purana and Shiva Purana associate shakti as "ChinMai" and there is concept of only Shakti (energy to destroy and preserve) but Srimad Devi Bhagwat purana is talking about energy beyond universes, hence associating herself as Param Brahman or ultimate GOD. There is difference between Shakti and Adi Parashakti. Shakti can referred as power of any deity typically known as Parvati or Sati or Durga but Adi Shakti is not associated with any god including Trimurti. She is power of Param Brahman. Shaktas call Adishakti as dynamic ParamBrahman and on the other hand Param Brahman is Static Adi Parashakti.
