PARBATI (PARVATI)

PARBATI (PARVATI) My Guru is only Shiva, Gorakh (Vishnu), Brahma, Parbati, Lakshrni and Sarasvati. (Japu, p. 2) The Lord Himself creates Shiva and Shakti (Parbati)….. (Ramkali M. 3, Anand, p. 920) The goddesses do not know the secret of the Lord. The Unknowable Para Brahman (Transcendental Lord) is above all. (Ramkali M. 5, p. 894) Millions of Durgas (Parbatis) massage the Lord. (Bhairo Kabir, p. 1162) Parbati is the consort of Shiva.

As the Shakti (female energy) of Shiva, she has two aspects, the mild one and the fierce one. In her milder form she is Uma, Gauri, Parvati, Haimavati, Jaganmata and Bhavani. In her terrible aspect she is Durga, Kali, Chandi and Bhairavi. See : Durga and Bhavani (Ad Bhavani).
