The Supreme and Extreme Power of the World - The Shakti Peethas
Shakti or Sati is an Avatar of the Supreme Being Adi Para Shakti,the mother of the Trimurti called Dattatreya. THEY are Lord Brhama, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva and ask THEM to take care of the Brahmanda or the Universe.
The Shakti or Sati, the main deity of Hinduism is worshipped as the Shakti Peethas (seat of
Shakti). This Goddess Shakti, the Goddess of power is the complete incarnation of Adi Para Shakti or "Prakruti" (nature), has three main manifestations, as Durga, Goddess of strength
and valour, as Mahakali,Goddess of destruction of evil and as Goddess Gowri, the Goddess of benevolence.
Lord Brahma's duty is to create the Brahmanda or the Universe, but He is unable to do this without His mother Adi Para Shakti. Therefore He performed a Yajna "A vedic ritual of fire sacrifice" to please Goddess Shakti and Lord Shiva. Goddess Shakti incarnated, separating from Lord Shiva and helped Lord Brahma in the creation of the Brahmanda or the Universe.
Lord Shiva always stay with Mother Shakti as Lord Bhairava "a manifestation of Lord Shiva" in all Shakti Peethas.
Ashtaa Dasha Shakti Peethas Stotra By Adi Shankara Charya
प्रद्युम्ने शृङ्खला देवी चामुण्दा क्रौञ्चपट्टणे॥
अलम्पुरे जोगुलाम्ब श्रीशैले भ्रमराम्बिक।
कोल्हापुरमहलक्ष्मी माहुर्यमेकवीरिका॥
उज्जयिन्याम् महाकाळी पीठिकायाम् पुरुहुतिका।
ओड्ढ्यायाम् गिरिजादेवी माणिक्या दक्षवाटिके॥
हरिक्षेत्रे कामरूपी प्रयागे माधवेश्वरी।
ज्वालायाम् वैष्णवीदेवी गयामाङ्गल्यगौरिके॥
वारणास्याम् विशालाक्षी काश्मीरेतु सरस्वती।
अष्ठादशैवपीठानि योनिनामप दुर्लभानिच॥
सायंकालं पठेन्नित्यम् सर्वरोगनिवारणम्।
सर्वपापहरम् दिव्यम् सर्वसम्पत्करम् शुभम्॥
