Devi - The Mother
Devi (Devanagari: देवी) is the Sanskrit word for Goddess,
used mostly in Hinduism. Devi is synonymous with Shakti,
the female aspect of the divine, as conceptualized by the Shakta
tradition of Hinduism. She is the female counterpart without
whom the male aspect, which represents consciousness
or discrimination, remains impotent and void.
Goddess worship is an integral part of Hinduism.
Devi is, quintessentially, the core form of every
Hindu Goddess. As the female manifestation
of the supreme lord, she is also called Prakriti,
as she balances out the male aspect
of the divine addressed Purusha
