The worship of God in the form of Mother- is a unique Feature of Hinduism. Through the ages, the doctrine of the Motherhood of God has established a firm root in Hinduism. Today Hindus worship the Divine Mother in many popular forms such as Durga, Kali, Lakshrni, Saraswati, Ambika, and Uma. Kali: Kali is regarded as the supreme goddess of the Saktas, who almost always associate her with Shiva. As the latter's consort or associate, she plays the role of inciting him to wild behaviour; as a goddess having an awful, frightening appearance, she is addressed as Siddhasenani (general of the Siddhas), Mandaravasini (dweller on the Mandara), Kali (black or dark), Kapali (wearer of skulls), Bhadrakali, Mahakali, Chandi (formidable), Karali (frightening), etc. To many of her devotees, she is also Kumari (virgin), Tarini (deliverer), Vijaya (victory), Jaya, `younger sister of the chief of cowherds', `delighting always in Mahisa's blood', Kausiki, Uma, `destroyer of Kaitabha', mother of Skanda, Svaha, Svadha, Sarasvati, Savitri, `mother of the Vedas', Mahadevi, Mohini, Maya, Hari, Sri, Sandhya, Vindhyavasini (an epithet of Durga), Chamunda, etc. Mahakali is very dark, usually naked, and has long, disheveled hair, a girdle of severed arms, a necklace of freshly cut heads, earrings of children's corpses, and bracelets of serpents. To add to her dreadful appearance, she has long, sharp fangs and claw like hands with long nails and blood smeared on her lips; she laughs loudly, dances madly. She is a goddess who, in the words of David Kinsley, "threatens stability and order. Although she may be said to serve order in her role as slayer of demons, more often than not she becomes so frenzied on that battle-field, usually becoming drunk on the blood of her victim, that she herself begins to destroy the world that she is supposed to protect. Thus even in the service of the gods, she is ultimately dangerous and tends to get out of control. In association with other goddesses, she appears to represent their embodied wrath and fury, a frightening, dangerous dimension of the divine feminine that is released when these goddesses become enraged or are summoned to take part in war and killing. In relation to Shiva, she appears to play the opposite role from that of Parvati. Parvati calms Shiva, counterbalancing his anti-social or destructive tendencies. It is she who brings Shiva within the sphere of domesticity and who, with her soft glances, urges him to moderate the destructive aspects of his tandava dance. Kali is Shiva's "other" wife, as it were, provoking him and encouraging him in his mad, antisocial, often disruptive habits. It is never Kali who takes Shiva but Shiva who must becalm Kali. Her association with criminals reinforces her dangerous role vis-à-vis society. She is at home outside the moral order and seems to be unbounded by that order." Parvati: In Hindu philosophy, energy or shakti is a female concept. Therefore each god has his consort or his energy portrayed as a beautiful goddess. PARVATI, the consort of Shiva, is the most widely worshipped goddess in India. Mother of Kartikeya and Ganesha, she is the universal mother with limitless power. Parvati is worshipped in different forms, ranging from the most gentle and gracious, strong and dignified, motherly and generous, to the most powerful and potent, violent and frightening. 0When shown with Shiva Maheshwara, she is called Uma, the lustrous one. Each monsoon, she comes for the festival of Haritalika, as Harita Gauri, the goddess of greenery and plenty. She is the harvest bride dressed in green and decorated with opulent jewels. She carries a stalk of sugarcane and wheat sheaves and heralds the Ganesha festival. In several temples, Parvati is also referred to as Annapoorna, the goddess of plenty and generosity. Gracious hostesses are often compared to her. Parvati is also Durga, the goddess who symbolises dominant power and strength. Fittingly her vehicle is a lion or a tiger. She is portrayed with 10 arms carrying an arsenal of weapons and is the protector of the virtuous and the remover of ignorance. Of all female deities, Parvati alone displays her ability to change forms exactly like Vishnu and reincarnate herself for the destruction of evil. Worshipped as Devi, she therefore has many forms going from one extreme of lustre and grace to the other extreme of the awesome and fearful. The development of her personality from being a consort of Shiva to a deity in her own right is interesting. Parvati is not only the font of all the shaktis but also the deity who presides over many cults and many forms of worship. She is the oldest female deity worshipped as mother goddess and is represented in 52 Shaktipithas or seats of power in temples all over India. The myth behind the Shaktipithas is ancient as well. It is said that as Sati, the daughter of Daksha and wife of Shiva, she immolated herself to avenge the insult meted out to her husband by her father. Discovering what had happened, Shiva became totally obsessed by his grief. To save the situation, Vishnu scattered Sati's remains in 52 different places which have become shrines of power in modern India. Of these, 12 are praised or venerated in all the Shakti Puranas. The violent form of Parvati is Kali, the earth goddess who demands sacrificial killings. She has a hideous face and the third eye of knowledge on a blood-smeared face. In this terrifying aspect, Parvati is feared as the central figure of many black magic cults and superstitions. At Gangotri, the source of the river Ganga in the Himalayas, stands a temple to Annapoorna. Other famous temples are: Jwalamukhi, Himachal Pradesh; Vaishno Devi, Jammu; Kali, Calcutta, West Bengal; Ambaji, Gujarat; Meenakshi, Madurai, Tamil Nadu; Kamakshi, Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu; Kamakhya, Assam; Visalakshi, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh; Mahalakshmi in Kolhapur, Bhavani in Tuljapur, Maharashtra and Kanyakumari at the southern tip of India in Tamil Nadu.
