| | Devi, the Adi Shakti or the proto energy, known and worshipped in India by several names, is in metaphysical contemplations the female principle and the dynamic factor of the cosmos. | | | Indian religious texts come out with several legends of her birth and exploits against demons and assign to her a role which many a time even the trio of gods- Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, failed to accomplish. | | | After she had been conceived, the gods all conjointly worshipped her and consecrated her as the supreme divine power above them all. |
