"The Hindu Concept of Mother Goddess."

The first word uttered by the human infant is ‘Maa’.
Our first relationship with the world is through the
mother. She is the embodiment of love, tenderness,
security and comfort and the source of all
nourishment. To the infant she is indeed God.


To transfer this concept to a Cosmic Being who is the
Mother of all, who nurtures and cares for all was but
a step which all the ancient cultures took. Therefore
the concept of the divine as the Mother is as old as
life itself.


She is the eternal womb of all creatures, human,
animal and sub-human. Whenever you see maternal love,
in a bird or animal or human being, know it to be but
a reflection of the Divine Mother’s love for her
creation. She is the one who has given us birth but
she is also the one who can free us from this mundane
existence.

In her transcendental aspect she is Para Brahma
Swaroopini or the form of the Para Brahman or the
Absolute. They cannot exist separately, like the
dynamo and the battery which charges it, one cannot
exist without the other.


The Absolute Brahman is that which we cannot know or
conceive. All that we know through our mind and senses
is nothing but the manifestation of the Mother. Every
conceivable form is the form of the goddess.


In essence she is nirguna or without qualities but
when she manifests herself as this universe she become
saguna or with form. She is Mula Prakriti or the
original form of Nature.


She is the dot in the centre of energy which is the
ultimate source of all the fields which western
science is slowly discovering – the field of gravity,
the electromagnetic field and the zero point field.
Thus she is known as Parashakti or the ultimate force.
Even though Einstein did not know of her as the Mother
Divine, yet he dimly perceived her power and said,
‘The field is the only reality.’
