She is the one who performs the actions through the gods. Two of hers most powerful and excellent forms are Durga (goddess out of reach) and Kali (goddess of destruction).Īccording to the Puranas, she is absorbed in the creation of the universe by Brahma, she supports the creation by Vishnu and she also annihilates the creation by Shiva.

She is the transformative power behind the sustaining power of God.

The goddesses of Hinduism are represented as the motherhood of God. Rajarajeshvarya Ashtakam was composed by Adi Shankaracharya.
