Though it is good, this thread is not about Navaratri, But Devi Mahatmyam. I would request the members to bear this in mind.

The basic concept of MAA in Devi Mahatmyam is that she is the supreme principle. She is the combination of the powers of all the Gods and Goddesses.

She has no consort. She has the powers of Siva, Vishnu and Brahma among other Gods.

This is against the theory of Siva Sakthi principle of South India. That is why many of the Brahmin Sri Vidya upasakas of South India do not identify themselves as Sakthas.

The above image is a very good illustration of MAA. This shows all the Gods and Goddesses inside her.

Jai MAA !!!
