She is the peaceful and eternal power of Shiva, the great and imperishable force that endures beyond all time. Without beginning and undecaying, her essence is pure, divine, and all-pervading—unshaken and steadfast. She is the supreme Shakti of Shiva, ever truthful, stainless, and revered as the great goddess. Known as Nanda, she is the very soul of all beings, the embodiment of knowledge, radiant as pure light, immortal and imperishable. Her form is subtle like space itself; she abides within space, supports it, and remains unchanging and deathless. She is the very ritual, the first-born, the navel from which immortality springs, and the ultimate refuge for the Self. Mistress of life, she takes the form of breath and rules over both primordial matter and spirit, sovereign of all that exists. She governs every action, the goddess of all creatures and their lords. Born of space and established in union, she is the goddess honored by the greatest yogis. She is the source from which worldly existence arises, complete in herself, and the origin of every power. As the power of life and the knowledge of breath, she is the supreme yogini and the highest art. Beginningless and of infinite might, she is ever devoted to the highest purpose, the very fire that fuels the spirit. From her arises sound; she is composed of sound, known as Nada, and her very form is sound itself. Ancient and made of pure consciousness, she is the origin of all beings, manifesting as the cosmic person. She transcends birth, death, and old age, endowed with every power. She is the force behind the knower of the field, marked by the unmanifest, ever free from impurity. Born from the great illusion, she is of tamas, of the spirit, and unwavering. Though she herself does not act, she is the mother of all action, forever creative in her nature. She is the womb of Brahma, composed of the fourfold Vedas, her essence that of Padmanabha and Achyuta. She supports all, of wondrous form and endowed with all sovereignty. Most exalted, she is the source of Brahma, arisen as Mahalakshmi. She is the common ground of all, subtle, both ignorance and ultimate reality. She dwells in countless forms, transcending the three divisions of time—past, present, and future. She is the mother of Brahma, Ishvara, and Vishnu; called Brahma, she is the refuge of Brahman itself. She is born of the waters, self-manifested, born of the mind, and arising from the fundamental principles. She is Bhavani, Rudrani, Mahalakshmi, and Ambika—sovereign of all, worthy of every reverence, always joyfully disposed. She sits upon half the seat of the Lord, ever faithful and devoted to the great Lord as his beloved consort. She is Parvati, daughter of Himavat, bestower of supreme bliss. She is Savitri, Kamala, Lakshmi, Shri—abiding on the breast of the Infinite. She is Sarasvati, the embodiment of all knowledge, eldest in the world, and most auspicious. As Yogeshvari, she is the wisdom of Brahman, great knowledge, and the most beautiful. She is Svaha, Vishvambhara, Siddhi, Svadha, Medha, Dhriti, and Shruti—the very powers that sustain and uplift. Unborn, radiant, and gentle, she is the enjoyer and bestower of all enjoyments. In all the three worlds, she is the most beautiful, charming and lovely, moving always according to her own will. Adorned with a garland of lotuses, she removes all sin, wondrous and crowned with glory. She shines like the sun, the maiden Kumari, riding upon the finest peacock. She is Aditi, steadfast and fierce, whose womb is a lotus and who is fit for marriage. She bears great fruits, her limbs flawless, fulfilling every desire, and shining with beauty even in the night. Such is the glory and mystery of the Great Goddess—eternal, all-pervading, and ever-blissful.
