Sakti Energises the Trimurtis

Sakti Energises the Trimurtis

O Lord Siva! Silent adorations unto Thee! Thou art the only refuge, the only object of
adoration, the one Governor of the Universe, the self-effulgent Being. Thou art the creator,
preserver and destroyer of the universe. Thou art the Highest, the Immovable, the Absolute.
Sakti is the energy or the vital power that makes any activity possible. When a man does any
work he does it only by virtue of his Sakti. If he is unable to do the work he says that he has no Sakti
to do that work. Hence Sakti is that which enables one to work. Sakti is Devi. Sakti is the Divine
Mother. Mind is Sakti. Prana is Sakti. Will is Sakti.
Devi Bhagavata deals with the forms of Prakriti. Devi took the Trimurtis to Her abode in
Manidvipa, gave them their consorts Sarasvati, Lakshmi and Parvati and sent out for the life of
universe in the new Kalpa.
Lord Narayana created Brahma from His navel. Brahma did not know what to do. Vishnu
and Siva also did not know how to set going the life of a new universe in a new Kalpa after the
dissolution. They were lifted in a Vimana or celestial car and they soon reached a strange region
where they were transformed into women. They were in a land of women headed by Devi. It was
Manidvipa in the Sudha Samudra, the ocean of nectar. The newly made women stayed there, for a
hundred years. They did not know who they were, why they were there and what they were to do.
Then they were put in the company of men and they themselves became men. They were
coupled, Brahma with Sarasvati, Vishnu with Lakshmi and Siva with Parvati. They found
themselves at once in their original place and they knew what to do. They understood their
functions. The Trimurtis attain Sakti through association with the Devi.
Parvati is the Sakti of Lord Siva who bestows Jnana and Mukti on men. Lakshmi is the Sakti
of Vishnu who gives prosperity to the people. Sarasvati is the Sakti of Brahma who creates the
world. Radha is the Sakti of Lord Krishna who leads humanity to Mukti through Bhakti.
May Sakti bless you all with Sakti!
