Shakti | Adi

: According to the Devi Bhagavata Purana , Adi Shakti created the Hindu trinity—Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva—and empowered them with her energy to perform their respective roles of creation, maintenance, and destruction.

Adi Shakti is worshipped in both (formless) and Saguna (with form) aspects. She assumes various forms to fulfill specific cosmic purposes:

: "Adi" means origin or first, and "Shakti" means power or energy. She is the active, dynamic force that animates the universe, while the masculine principle (Shiva) represents pure, passive consciousness.

: On a personal level, she is identified as Kundalini Shakti , the dormant spiritual energy located at the base of the spine in all living beings. Primary Manifestations

(also known as Adi Parashakti or Mahadevi) is the supreme, primordial feminine energy in Hinduism, regarded as the ultimate source of all creation, preservation, and destruction. In the Shakta tradition, she is recognized as Para Brahman , the Absolute Truth that exists beyond time and space. Core Concept and Significance
