From awesome to ferocious, beautiful, graceful and powerful - all at once.

Saraswati - Knowledge Mother. Calling on us to awaken in wisdom, with the magic of Her genteel Veena song
Lakshmi - Prosperity Mother. Her Lotus feet walking through our lives, leave behind Foot Prints of Abundance.
Meenakshi - Warrior Mother. Divine Lioness, with Her battle-ready Trishul defends to protect and saves.

She is energy, exuberant in play. The joy of experience passed on generously from within.
She is a confluence, a woman, owning her powers.
She is Matrika.
Woman.
Earth Mother, three times and more…
