Parvati is the Hindu goddess of
fertility, love and devotion; and also determination. She is a manifestation of
Shakti, the divine feminine energy of the universe. She is the wife of Shiva,
the supreme being. She is the mother of Skanda, the god of war, and Ganesh, the
remover of obstacles. She is usually depicted alongside Shiva with two arms,
holding one lotus. Or, she is represented alone, with four arms, holding two
lotuses. Parvati is worshiped for help with marriage, parenting, and fertility.
VEDAS
The Vedas are a
collection of hymns and other ancient religious texts written in India
between about 1500 and 1000 BCE. It includes elements such as liturgical
material as well as mythological accounts, poems, prayers, and formulas
considered to be sacred by the Vedic religion.
Kali is the fierce
representation of Shakti. She is also known as the destroyer or the one who
liberates the soul and provides moksha or enlightenment. She is an incarnation
of Parvati/Durga.
