Parvathi

Parvathi

Today I would like to introduce a single image of femininity, which is an inspiration to all women in society who are confined by  social expectations. She is characterised by her patience, soft-spoken, and gentle touch, which give us the warmth of motherhood. She incarnated in many forms from time to time, according to the circumstances. For instance, she incarnated as Sita Devi to accompany her husband Rama for 14 years of exile. Despite many troubles, she never left her husband. She stood by her husband and supported him. She is incarnated as Maa Durga, and she combats all evil forces that threaten peace and prosperity. In these ways, she has many forms and has handled the situations with the presence of time. So every woman should be like Parvati, who transforms into new forms when her emotions overtake her, and displays the full range of what women can do in society.

Parvati Devi, also known as Amman and affectionately as Amma, is worshipped by all Hindus regardless of caste; she is the superior power, divine, and strength. Amman is an important deity in Hinduism after Saraswathi and Lakshmi Devi. She is also the Hindu goddess of love, marriage, devotion, fertility, children, and beauty. Amman is also called Adiparashakthi. She is the consort of Lord Shiva and the mother of Ganesh and Kartikeya. Amman is the sister of Lord Vishnu, and she is the daughter of King Himavan and Queen Mena. She is also the centre deity in Shaivism, along with Shiva. Lord Shiva’s creative energy and power is represented by Amman. There are numerous Hindu temples dedicated to Goddess Parvati throughout South and Southeast Asia.

The name Parvathi is derived from the Sanskrit word Parvatha, which stands for mountain. She was born to Himavath, who is regarded as the King of the Mountains. Before she was Parvati, she was a human woman named “Sati” or “Dakshayani,” Sati loved and married Lord Shiva, even though her father did not like him.
