The Goddess Divine Mother is the Supreme.
When the Divine Mother is in Universal form, She is in many souls or beings; when She is beyond universe, She is called Para or Supreme. When the Brahman identified Param is changing to Shakti form, She is called Parama. She is in manifested and un-manifested. There is nothing foreign to Her. The sea surface is seen by our eyes, but the deeper sea levels are not visible to our eyes; but still in total is called the sea. Similarly manifested or un-manifested forms are all the Parashakti or Parama or the Divine Mother.
When we cannot understand the Brahman, She provides a manifested form and show to us what the Brahman is all about. She is param or the Shakti of Lord Shiva. She is beyond all for original creations in the universe. She is the Adishakti, glorious and is far beyond us.
The Supreme Brahman is without beginning and undivided. The Divine Mother is the power that makes that Brahman appear to be divided and take birth in various forms. That which is divided becomes measurable. Thus, the Divine Mother is the one who measures the Supreme.
Para is known as Shiva and ma
is Lakshmi. The Divine Mother is Shiva’s Lakshmi or Shiva’s glories. Also, the
Divine Mother is the one who transcends the four forms of Para Brahman namely:
Purusa (the cosmic man), Avyakta (un-manifested), Vyakta (manifested) and Kala
(time).
