Supremacy of Trimurti and Trishakti on an Equal Level

Glories to Aadyanagha Mahadevi and Duranteshwar Mahadev 🙏!

Today we will discuss on the supremacy of all the Trimurti and Trishakti couples on an equal level. Earlier we had discussed on their one-ness. Today we will discuss that all the three couples are equally Supreme. We will also discuss about the Supremacy of Sita Ram and Radha Krishna. This is very much needed for harmony among Hindus.

Note : Though Radha Krishna and Sita Ram are often considered as incarnations of Lakshmi Vishnu, they have their separate Supremacy too. In fact both couples are often considered to be the source of Trishaktis.

Also when there are cases of Trishaktis / Trimurtis being a position or having a finite lifespan, it is for the ones alloted to particular universes. Not the ones in their highest abode. This has commonly been misused to degrade certain pairs, specially Saraswati and Brahma.

The Couple Goals of Sanatan Dharma 

So let's get started with the glorification of each couple.

1. Gauri Shankara

"Rudra indeed is that one, without a second, who rules all these worlds with his supreme powers, who stands in front of all creatures, who protects the worlds He creates, also withdraws them in the end." Svetashwatar Upanishad, Chapter 3, Verse 2

"Rudra is man. Uma is woman. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is Brahma. Uma is Sarasvati. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is Vishnu. Uma is Lakshmi. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is Sun. Uma is shadow. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is moon. Uma is star. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is day. Uma is night. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is Yajna. Uma is Vedi. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is Agni, Uma is Svaha. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is Veda. Uma is Sastra. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is tree. Uma is creeper. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is scent. Uma is flower. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is meaning. Uma is word. Prostrations to Him and Her. Rudra is Linga. Uma is Pitha. Prostrations to Him and Her." Rudra Hridaya Upanishad 

"Śakti is Mahādevī herself and Mahādeva is one possessing Śakti. The entire universe of mobile and immobile beings is a fragment of their exalted magnificence. Some objects are in the form of Cit and some in the form of Acit. Each of them is again twofold Śuddha and Para; Aśuddha and Apara. The wheel of Cit that undergoes worldly existence along with the wheel of Acit is Aśuddha and Apara. The other one is Śuddha and Para. Both the Cit and Acit whether Para or Apara and the lordship of Śiva and Śivā are natural. The universe is subject to the control of Śiva and Śivā, but Śiva and Śivā are not subject to the control of the universe. Since the universe is to be ruled over, Śiva and Śivā are the sovereigns of the universe. Just as Śiva so also the goddess. Just as the goddess so also Śiva. No difference shall be thought of between the two as between the moon and the moonlight. Just as the moon does not shine without the moonlight so also though existing Śiva does not shine without Śakti. Just as the sun does not exist without its light nor docs the light thereof exist without the sun, so also there is mutual dependence between Śakti and Śaktimān. There is no Śakti without Śiva and no Śiva without Śakti. The Śakti is the primordial and solitary one, of the form of Cit and depending on Śiva, by means of which Śiva can bestow worldly pleasures and salvation and which is of the same characteristics as Śiva, the great Ātman through the diverse befitting attributes of the lord." Shiv Puran, Vayaviya Samhita (Part 2), Chapter 4, Verses 4-14

"Śiva is called Śaktimān since he is in association with it. This universe born of both Śakti and Śaktimān is termed Śākta and Śaiva. Just as no boy is born without parents, so also the universe of mobile and immobile beings does not originate without Śiva and Śivā. The universe has both a male and a female source, hence it is in the nature of male and female. It is the effect of the superhuman power of male and female. It is presided over by a male and a female. Śiva is the great Ātman and Śivā the great Śakti. Sadāśiva is Śiva and Manonmanī is Śivā, Maheśvara is known as Śiva and Śivā as Māyā. Puruṣa is the great god and Prakṛti the great goddess. Rudra is the great god himself and Rudrāṇī is his beloved. Viṣṇu is lord Viśveśvara and Lakṣmī his beloved. When Brahmā the creator is Śiva, Brahmāṇī is the beloved of Brahman." Shiv Puran, Vayaviya Samhita (Part 2), Chapter 4, Verses 36

"देवी बोलीं - हे हिमालय ! चराचर कोई भी वस्तु मुझ से रहित नहीं है। यदि मुझसे शून्य कोई वस्तु मान ली जाय तो वह वन्ध्यापुत्रके समान असम्भव ही है। जिस प्रकार एक रस्सी भ्रमवश सर्प अथवा माला के रूप में प्रतीत होती है, उसी प्रकार मैं ही ब्रह्मा, विष्णु, महेश आदि रूप से प्रतीत होती है; इसमें कोई संशय नहीं है।" Devi Bhagawatam, Canto 7, Chapter 33

"'दुर्ग' शब्द विपत्ति का बोधक है और 'आकार' नाश का। जो 'दुर्ग' अर्थात् विपत्ति का नाश करने वाली हैं; वे देवी सदा 'दुर्गा' कही गयी हैं।" Brahma Vaivarta Puran, Canto 4, Chapter 27, Verse 21

"सृष्टि के आदि में अपनी लीला करने के लिये जो भगवती स्वयं दो रूपों में प्रकट हुई थीं, उन्हीं के अर्धांगस्वरूप भगवान् महेश्वर हैं। वे कामदेव के अभिमान का नाश करने में परम कुशल, करोड़ों कामदेव के समान सुन्दर, पाँच मुख तथा तीन नेत्रों से युक्त और मणि के भूषणों से विभूषित हैं।" Devi Bhagawatam, Canto 12, Chapter 12

"सूर्य बोले- देवि ! माँ मंगलागौरी! आपके नामकीर्तन से प्रकट हुई पुण्यमयी निर्मल नदी पापरूपी वृक्षों को बहा ले जाती है। आप ही भगवान् चन्द्रशेखर के समीप गौरीरूपसे विराजमान हैं। आप ही ब्रह्माजी के निकट सावित्री होकर रहती हैं। आप ही चक्रपाणि भगवान् विष्णु के यहाँ मनोहर लक्ष्मी रूपसे निवास करती हैं तथा आप ही काशी में मोक्षलक्ष्मी हैं। निर्मल स्वरूप धारण करनेवाली देवि ! आप ही इस जगत्में मुझ शरणागतकी रक्षा करनेवाली हैं।" Skand Puran, Kashi Khand, Chapter 49

"This eternal, all auspicious Devī is the Presiding Deity of all the Devas and is, therefore, worshipped and praised by Brahmā and the other Devas, Munis, and Manus. This Bhagavatī Durgā Devī, (when She gets pleased) destroys all the sorrows, pains and troubles of the Bhaktas that have taken Her refuge, and gives them Dharma, everlasting name and fame, all auspicious things and bliss and all the happiness, nay, the Final Liberation! She is the Greatest Refuge of these Bhaktas that come to Her wholly for protection and are in great distress, whom She saves from all their dangers and calamities. In fact, know this Durgā Devī as, verily, the Presiding Deity of the heart of Kṛṣṇa and as His Highest Śakti, of the nature of the Holy Fire and the Holy Light." Devi Bhagawatam, Canto 9, Chapter 1

"I remain ever bowing to that Minakshi, shining with the crown radiant with the garland of pearls, with a shining face similar to the full-moon, and wearing the tinkling anklets and gem-studded bells and is shining with the splendour of the lotus, and is the bestower on us of all the objects of our desire, and who is worshipped by the goddess of speech (Saraswati) and the goddess of wealth (Lakshmi)." Meenakshi Panchratnam, Verse 2

"It was at that time that Vagishwari named ‘Ka’ and Kamalā named ‘Mā’—both of them like encased masses of splendour manifested themselves." Sloka 67, Lalitopakhyana, Brahmand Puran.

"On seeing the two deities Bhāratī and Śrī born of the eyes of Ādiśrī, the two deities with their creeper-like hands adorned with ornaments studded with invaluable gems and jewels and fitted with tinkling bells. All the assembled folk were particularly struck with wonder. Ever since then Kalyāṇī (goddess Tripurā) got the name Kāmākṣī." Sloka 72, Lalitopakhyana, Brahmand Puran.

2. Saraswati Brahma

"On being told thus Nārada went in and bowed down to Brahmā, the Lord of the worlds, and prostrated with the eight limbs (touching the ground). Then the king’s (arrival) was reported to him. With a side-glance he commanded him to fetch Indradyumna. The Lord did not say anything because he was attentively listening to the song. His mind had been attracted by the divine songs and music. After understanding the gesture Nārada brought the excellent king in. Thereupon he was closely observed by Śakra and others. Seeing Pitāmaha, the creator of the worlds, from a distance, O excellent Brāhmaṇas, the king thought him to be Hari himself of the wooden idol. The king went ahead slowly bowing down, with palms joined in reverence, eulogizing him, falling down (by way of prostrating) and going on with faltering steps due to fright and awe of the place. At the bidding of Nārada the king stood a little away. He was fanned by Sāvitrī and Śāradā (who stood) on either side. The Self-born Lord was eulogized by the Vedas assuming pure bodies. He began calculating the units of time such as Kalā, Kāṣṭhā, Nimeṣa etc. up to the cycle of Yugas. In the case of persons who have gone to his (Brahmā’s) world, there is no old age, birth or death; there is no change of form, colour, feature etc. There is neither mental affliction nor physical ailment; there are no divisions such as Manvantara etc., cycles of Yugas etc. There is nothing like the close of a Kalpa etc. He is the Supreme Lord himself." Skand Puran, Vaishnav Khand, Purushottam-Kshetra Mahatmya, Chapter 23, Verses 7-16

देवता बोले- परब्रह्मस्वरूप हिरण्यगर्भब्रह्माजीको नमस्कार है। जिनका स्वरूप किसीको ज्ञात नहीं है, जो कैवल्य एवं अमृतरूप हैं, जिन्हें इन्द्रियाँ और उनके अधिष्ठाता देवता भी नहीं जानते, जहाँ मनकी भी पहुँच नहीं है और जहाँ वाणीका भी प्रस्तार नहीं हो पाता, उन सच्चिदानन्दमय परमात्माको नमस्कार है। योगीजन अविचलभावसे समाधिमें स्थित हो ध्यानके द्वारा अपने हृदयाकाशमें जिनके ज्योतिर्मय स्वरूपका साक्षात्कार करते हैं, उन श्रीब्रह्माजीको नमस्कार है। जो कालसे परे होकर भी कालस्वरूप हैं, स्वेच्छा (अथवा अपने भक्तोंकी इच्छा) से पुरुषरूप धारण करते हैं, सत्त्व, रज और तम ये तीनों गुण जिनके स्वरूप हैं तथा गुणोंकी साम्यावस्थारूप प्रकृति भी जिनका ही रूप है, उन ब्रह्मा, विष्णु, शिवरूप परमेश्वरको नमस्कार है। प्रभो! वेद आपके निःश्वास हैं, सम्पूर्ण विश्व आपके एक अंशमें स्थित है, द्युलोक आपके मस्तकसे प्रकट हुआ है, आपकी नाभिसे अन्तरिक्ष लोकका आविर्भाव हुआ है और वनस्पति आपके लोम हैं। भगवन् ! चन्द्रमा आपके मनसे और सूर्य आपके नेत्रसे उत्पन्न हुए हैं। देव! आप ही सब कुछ हैं, आपमें ही सबकी स्थिति है, आप परमेश्वरसे यह सम्पूर्ण जगत् भलीभाँति व्याप्त है, आपको बारंबार नमस्कार है। Abhishtada Stotram from Skand Puran, Kashi Khand, Chapter 2

"I reverentially bow down to Devi Saraswati whose lotus feet is served by the Devas and Asuras, on her hand shines a Beautiful Book, Who is the consort of Lord Brahma and abides on a Lotus Seat, O Devi Saraswati, please dance on my Speech, always." Agastya Muni Krit Saraswati Stotram, Verse 3

"Who is pure like a crystal and whose nature is extremely subtle; Salutations, Salutations to Her. Who is the embodiment of Sabda Brahman, who has four hands and who is the embodiment of all Siddhis; Salutations, Salutations to Her." Agastya Muni Krit Saraswati Stotram, Verse 7

"One who is served by Parvati and Lakshmi on both her sides, one known from the Vedas, one who destroys the differences, the pure-hearted one, the form of non-duality, may Shri Sarasvati be pleased with me." Indra Krit Saraswati Stotram, Verse 9

"Who is Mahadevi (the Great Goddess), Who is Mahakali and Who is Mahalakshmi; Salutations, Salutations to Her. Who is Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva (in essence) and Who is the most Adorable Brahman; Salutations, Salutations to Her." Agastya Muni Krit Saraswati Stotram, Verse 18

"Her nature the essence of Vedanta's sense. She the Supreme Sovereign. Manifest as name and form - May Sarasvati guard me!" Saraswati Rahasya Upanishad, Verse 7 

"Faith, grasp, intelligence Thou art, Goddess of Speech, spouse of Brahma; Thy home, the tongue-tip of devout Souls; Thou the giver of virtues, Such as restraint of mind's movements." Saraswati Rahasya Upanishad, Verse 40

"In the beginning there was the One in it’s splendour, as the Golden Womb, manifested as the sole Lord of land, skies, water, space and that beneath and that deity upheld the earth and the heavens. This is the deity we shall worship with our offerings. The one is that deity, who bestows us with life and vigor, whose guidance all men and the Demi-gods invoke; in whose shadow is immortal life and death. This is the deity we shall worship with our offerings. The great deity who became the Lord of all the creatures that breath and see, who is the Lord of man and bird and beast. This is the deity we shall worship with our offerings." Hiranyagarbha Suktam, Verses 1-3

"Desiring to create the several kinds of created things, he, in the beginning, by mere willing, produced, out op his own body, Water ; and in that he threw the seed. That became the golden egg, resplendent like the Sun; in that (egg) he (Hiraṇyagarbha) himself was born as Brahmā, the ‘Grand-father’ of the whole world. Water is called ‘nara,’ — water being the offspring of nara; since water was the first thing created by (or, the original residence of) that being, he is, on that account, described as ‘Nārāyaṇa.’ That which is the cause —unmanifest, eternal and partaking of the nature of the existent and the non-existent - the being produced by that (cause) is described among people as ‘Brahmā.’ That supreme lord, having dwelt in that egg for a year, himself, by his own thought, broke that egg into two parts. Out of those two pieces (of the egg) he formed Heaven and Earth, and, between them, the Ākāśa, the eight quarters and the eternal receptacle of water. From out of himself he brought forth the mind, which partakes of the nature of the existent and non-existent; and before the mind, he brought up the all-powerful principle of egoism, whose function consists in self-consciousness. Also the all-pervading ‘mahat’ (the ‘great’ principle of intelligence); as also all those things that consist of the three constituent attributes, and in due course, also the five organs of sensation which apprehend objects. Having combined the subtile components of the said six principles of illimitable potency with their own evolutes, he created even all beings. Because the six subtile components of the frame (of primordial matter) enter into (produce) these, therefore the wise ones have described the frame of that (primordial matter) as ‘body.’ The great elemental substances, along with their functions, as also the mind, along with its subtile components, enter into that which (on that account) is the generator of all things and imperishable. From out of the Subtile constituents of the frames of the said exceedingly potent principles is produced this (Gross Body)—the perishable proceeding from the imperishable." Manusmriti 1.9-19

"Having divided his body into two halves, with the one half, the Lord became Male, and with the other half, Female; from her he produced Virāj." Manusmriti 1.32

3. Lakshmi Vishnu

योगनिद्रा में लीन रहनेवाले, शेषशय्या पर शयन करनेवाले नारायण, ब्रह्माण्डरूपी कमल का प्रादुर्भाव करनेवाले, तमोगुण से युक्त होनेपर महाकाल रुद्ररूप, रजोगुण से युक्त होने पर हिरण्यगर्भब्रह्मारूप तथा सत्त्वगुण से युक्त होने पर और सर्वव्यापी होने के कारण तथा सभी देवों से नमस्कृत भगवान विष्णु कहलाते हैं। Ling Puran, Uttar Bhag, Chapter 5

"O Lord of the gods, Giver of happiness to your servants, and Protector of those who seek refuge! Victory to You! Victory to You!! O Benefactor of cows and Brahmins, Destroyer of demons, and beloved Lord of Lakshmi (the daughter of the ocean)! Victory to You! O Protector of the gods and the Earth! Your divine play is wondrous; no one knows its secret. May He, who is inherently compassionate and kind to the humble, bestow His grace upon us. O Imperishable One, Dweller in every heart, All-pervading, the form of Supreme Bliss, Unknowable, beyond the senses, of pure character, free from Maya (illusion), and the Giver of liberation— O Lord Mukunda! Victory to You! Victory to You!! Even the sages, who are detached from everything and completely free from attachment, become intensely devoted and meditate upon You day and night, singing the glories of Your virtues; Victory to that Being of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss (Saccidananda). May the Lord, who took the forms of the three Gunas—Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva—to create the threefold universe, and who is the Destroyer of sins, remember us. We know neither devotion nor the rituals of worship. Victory to Him who destroys the fear of the cycle of birth and death, gives joy to the minds of sages, and annihilates all calamities. We, the assembly of gods, have abandoned all cleverness of mind, speech, and action, and have come to Your refuge. Saraswati, the Vedas, Shesha, and all the seers do not know Your full extent; yet the Vedas proclaim You as 'Deendayal' (Merciful to the humble) and say that the downtrodden are dear to You. May that Lord Hari have mercy on us. O Lord, who is like Mount Mandarachal to churn the ocean of worldly existence, who is beautiful in every way, the abode of virtues, and the treasury of happiness! We—the sages, Siddhas, and all the gods—distressed by fear, bow down before Your lotus feet, O Lord Hari." Baal Kand, Ramcharitmanas 

"Salutations to Her who is Goddess of Speech (Saraswati), the beautiful consort of Vishnu, the sustainer (Shakambhari), and the beloved of Shiva (Parvati). Salutations to the one who manifests as the powers of creation, sustenance, and destruction, the supreme youthful Queen of the three worlds." Kanakdhara Stotram, Verse 10

"May the Mother of all the worlds, the daughter of the ocean, whose form is worshipful and who is bathed by the eight celestial elephants with golden pitchers, grant me all auspiciousness. She is the wife of the Lord of the Universe." Kanakdhara Stotram, Verse 20

"You are great illusory energy Mahamaya, you are Mahavidya the master of great yogis, you are supreme goddess and supreme energy Mahalaksmi, you are base of e of all, you are peace full, ever radiant and glorious consort of Lord Vishnu.. From Your Kala-amsa created millions of Triguna Shaktis. You are herself Nirguna Shakti beyond from Prakrti and it's gunas." Brihad Brahma Samhita, Chapter 9

"O Bhagavati! Your husband is Purushottama (the Supreme Person); the Lord of Serpents (Adisesha) is Your bed and seat; the very soul of the Vedas, the King of Birds (Garuda), is Your vehicle; Maya, which deludes the world, is but a curtain for You; and the entire host of gods like Brahma and Shiva, along with their consorts (Saraswati and Parvati), are but the multitude of Your male and female servants. Since Your very name is "Sri" (the Source of All), how can we possibly describe Your true glory?" Chatusloki, Verse 1

"I invoke here in this world Sri (Lakshmi), who is perceived through her fragrance, who is invincible (unassailable), who is eternally content and abundant, and who is the Supreme Mistress (Isvari) of all created beings." Sri Suktam, Verse 9

4. Sita Ram

शक्तिस्वरुपा तो जानकी देवी और शक्तिमान केवल रघुनाथ है। इस तत्व का वर्णन पुराणों के अन्तर्गत तत्ववेताओं ने विशेष रुप से किया है। Adbhut Ramayan 24.15

"I bow down to the most pure Sachidānand Śrī Rāma, who fulfills the desired wishes of the whole world, the deities like Brahmā, Vīshnu and Maheshā etc. are his mere parts. I concentrate my mind on his hymns." Skand Puran, Ayodhya Mahatmya, 1.3

"After my prayers in the begining of the creation, Oh Rāma ! You forsaken Your durdharsa (the swarupa which is difficult to be achieved for many i.e. the eternal two armed Śrī Rāma form) and assumed the form of Vīshnu for the sake of protection and sustenance of all the beings." Vālmiki Rāmāyaṇa 7.104.9 

"The one who is beyond Śrī Hāri Nāräyana, who is beyond even Śrī Krishnā, who is the most Paratammamvarat Paramatma, that is Dashrath's son Raghavā." Vashistha Samhita, Chapter 26, Verse 17

"Valmiki has wiped out that one single regret or burden that he had upon his heart, and it was to show that Sita was not meek and weak but extremely powerful, potent, valiant, effective and strong as she should have been, being the manifestation of the cosmic divine power called Shakti." Adbhut Ramayan, Canto 23

"I rever the feet of Sītā and Rama, who though stated to be different are yet identical just like a word and its meaning or like water and the waves on its surface, and to whom the afflicted are most dear." Baal Kand, Ramcharitmanas 

उमा, रमा, ब्रह्माणी (त्रिदेवी) ये सब देवी सीता के अंश से उत्पन्न होते हैं। श्री राम के अंश से श्रीमन्नारायण और श्री कृष्ण उत्पन्न होते हैं। देवी सीता के अंश कला से श्री, भू और लीला शक्ति होती हैं। श्री शक्ति से रुक्मिणी, भू शक्ति से सत्यभामा और लीला शक्ति से राधिका जी होती हैं। राम वल्लभ देवी सीता तो स्वयं शाश्वत परा शक्ति हैं। Sundari Tantra

सर्वशक्तिमयी भगवती सीता की दो भुजाएँ और चेहरे पर सुन्दर मुस्कान थी वह सफ़ेद रंग की, बड़ी-बड़ी आँखों वाली, नीले कपड़े पहनने वाली और ध्यान में समर्पित है। वह लाल आभूषणों से सुशोभित और रत्नों और जवाहरातों से सुसज्जित है। गोलोक के मध्य में संतानक के सुंदर वन में वह करोड़ों सखियों से घेरी हुई रत्नजड़ित सिंहासन पर बैठी है। वे करोड़ों सूर्यों के समान चमकती सच्चिदानंद की मूर्ति, परिपुर्णतम शक्ति, तेज क्षेत्र से सुशोभित है। वे ही सभी का बीज-रूप, सबसे महान योगियों द्वारा पूजा जाता है। मनुष्य को अपने भक्तों पर स्नेह करने वाली श्री राम की प्रिय सीता का ध्यान करना चाहिए। Janaki Vijay Kavacham

5. Radha Krishna 

"Lord Śiva continued: Any person who is surrendered to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, the controller of everything — material nature as well as the living entity — is actually very dear to me." Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 4, Chapter 24, Verse 28

"The whole cosmic order is under Me. Under My will it is automatically manifested again and again, and under My will it is annihilated at the end." Bhagawat Gita, Chapter 9, Verse 8

"Ghora Angihasa rishi advised his disciple that he should invoke Bhagavan Sri Krishna, the Son of Devakidevi with repeating this triad knowing as if the death is sitting upon his shoulder, “Thou art the Indestructible; Thou art the Unchangeable, Thou art the very Substratum that enlivens the entire universe." Chandogya Upanishad 3.17

"I am the basis / shelter of the formless Brahman, the immortal and imperishable, of eternal dharma, and of unending divine bliss." Bhagawat Gita, Chapter 14, Verse 27

श्रीराधा सत्यस्वरूपा हैं अर्थात् ब्रह्मस्वरूपिणी, करोड़ों तीर्थों का फल देनेवाली, करोड़ों योगसाधनों से भी दुर्लभ, कोटि यज्ञों से भी जिनकी शरणागति प्राप्त होनी कठिन है। मन्त्रों की अधिष्ठात्री मनसा नाम से प्रसिद्ध, श्रीकृष्णरूपी चन्द्रमा की कला, कोटि लक्ष्मी के समान सौभाग्यवती, पापशून्य अथवा पापनाशिनी पावनी हैं, करोड़ों मुक्तात्माओं के समान सुखी, सौम्यस्वरूपा, करोड़ों लक्ष्मियों के समान विलासवती हैं। Narad Puran, Purvardh, Chapter 82

श्रीराधारानी स्वयं श्रीकृष्ण की इष्टदेवी व स्वामिनी हैं। भक्ति द्वारा ही साध्य, भक्तों के द्वारा सदा वंदित, विश्व की पालिनी हैं। कृपा की स्त्रोत, जीवों के प्राणों की स्त्रोत और सबकी ईश्वरी हैं। Narad Puran, Purvardh, Chapter 82

"Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are the first Prakṛti and Puruṣa." Padma Puran, Patal Khand, Chapter 77

"On the left side resides Prakṛti Rukmini whose form is like nectar, and on the right side resides Purushottam Vishnu whose form is of Jyoti. By combining the two, the Paratattva is created." Gautamiya Tantra, Chapter 2

"If Krishna is God; Rukmini is Goddess.

If Krishna is Rama, she is Sita.

If Krishna is spring, she is fragrance.

Their essence is perfectly balanced throughout.

If Krishna is mantra (the divine vibration of consciousness), she (Rukmini) is matruka (the motherly source of all sounds and creative forces).

If Krishna is the deity of worship, she is the sacred altar (place of worship).

If Krishna is the ritual, she is the sacred flame of the offering.

The exclusive bond of the two (undivided,complete devotion to one)

If Krishna is the cosmic consciousness (Purusha), she is the cosmic nature (Prakriti).

If Krishna is Chaitanya (pure, universal consciousness), she is his Chittashakti (the dynamic power or energy of that consciousness).

If Krishna is the Supreme Soul / Paramatma (the eternal, divine consciousness);

She is the Supreme Light / Paramjyotih (the ultimate divine radiance that illuminates all existence)."

~ Sant Ekanath, Eknath Abhang Gatha

Conclusion

There are many deities who are as supreme as the given deities. The motive behind this blog is to ensure that we devotees don't indulge in toxic fights among each other, whether we follow a sect or not. If you are following a sect, do consider your deity as supreme ; but do not indulge in demeaning other deities. These fights are going to lead us to nowhere. They are only going to create problems for our Dharma. Remember one thing - United we stand, Divided we fall!
