DEVI BHAAGAVATAM - SKANDA 1
1#2a. Aadhi Paraasakti (1)
Sage Sootha was pleased to accept the request of the other rushis to expatiate on Devi Bhaagavatam. He replied to them,
It is my good fortune that you have given me this opportunity! Devi Bhaagavatam is as great as the Vedas. The stories found there are filled with the nava rasa.
The Devi is the all powerful and the supreme among all gods. She captivates the hearts of her devotees. She deserves to be worshiped by the trimoorthi. She deserves to be meditated upon by all of us.
She is called as Knowledge and as the primordial cause of creation. She is the one who can liberate us from bondage. She is truly Omniscient.
She resides in our lotus bud shaped heart. She cannot be known by the wicked people. She reveals herself to the truly deserving devotees. May that Devi bless us all with pure and unpolluted knowledge.
She uses her power which expresses itself in the three guNaas to create everything we see just like a childs play. She protects her creation and then destroys it just as easily as She had created it .
She is one not affected by the Time Factor. Brahma is supposed to have created the world . But Brahma himself was created out of the navel of VishNu and He depends on VishNu for His existence.
VishNu on the other hand depends on Aadhiseshan for His support. How can we name any of these these gods who depend on someone else for their existence as the supreme God?
