Devi

This is the third part in series of introduction about Hindu Icons and Symbols - this time we will study in detail about the Devi Mā - Divine Mother, the feminine counterparts of great Devas - Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.

In Hinduism Divine Mother is seen as the active Divine power or Shakti, capable to deliver all Divine qualities and strengths to living beings. Some traditions believe it is the power of the Gods of Trimūrti that acts through them, while other traditions believe Devi Mā can bring all necessary energy, qualities and liberation by Herself.
