According to Hindu mythology, Adi Parashakti—the Goddess, Devi—is the Supreme Being and recognized as Para Brahman. The Devi Bhagwata Mahapurana suggests that Adi Parashakti is the original creator, observer and destroyer of the whole universe. Today's Scientist call her Supreme Intelligence or Sacred Energy, and she is known commonly around the world simply as God. It is she who created everythin
g which exists in the Universe. Hence Adi Parashakti is Parama Prakriti. Goddess Durga is the original manifested form of Mother Adi-Parashakti. Goddess Durga is Adi- Parashakti herself. Durga or Parvati, the goddess of power and beauty, is considered as her saguna svarupa (human form). That is, Parvati or Durga is the truest material form of the Goddess, possessing the three qualities (Sattva, rajas, or tamas). However, the Goddess Adi Parashakti is also considered to be truly supreme spirit without form (Param Atman). She is the Great Goddess, and therefore the source of all other goddesses. She is supreme, but to bring back lord Shiva in Sansar, she took birth as human form to marry Shiva. In southern states of India like Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, she is famously celebrated and worshipped by name MOOKAMBIKA AMMA. In northern states of India, the devi can be found with utmost devotion of devotees at lower Himalayas of Katra, Jammu as Vaishno Devi, which also resounds with almost exact mythological tale(mentioned below).
