Adi Parashakti means “The Eternally Limitless Power”

As per Shaktism, Adi Parashakti appeared as Divine Pure Eternal Consciousness i.e. Shoonya Bindu, the divine zero feminine energy, which then expresses itself as Prakriti (Universal Nature).

Goddess Lalita Tripura Sundari, the goddess of power, is considered as her Saguna Svarupa (Manifested form). That is, Lalita Tripura Sundari is the truest material form of the Goddess, possessing the three qualities (Sattva, rajas, or tamas). However,

the Goddess Adi Para Shakti is also considered to be the truly supreme spirit without form (Param Atman). She is the Great Goddess, and therefore the source of all other goddesses. She is supreme and regarded as the “Absolute Truth” in Shaktism.

Origin of Adi Shakti

It is said that when there was nothing, suddenly a light emerged then that light took the form of Adi Shakti. She had three eyes, carrying Trishul, shield, mace, bow, arrow, chakra, long sword and one hand as Abhaya mudra.

She looked here and there but saw nothing.After seeing nothing she took the form of Kushmanda. She was seated on a lioness. When she opened her left eye Mahakali was born. When she opened her third eye Mahasaraswati was born and when she opened her right eye Mahalakshmi was born

Before she opened her eyes she smiled a bit and from the smile, all universes were created.
