Goddess Adi Shakti is the Energy behind All Creation and Ultimate Destruction

Soundarya Lahari has a perennial appeal that keeps the devotee awe-struck and ecstatic. Though the vocabulary is difficult, the chosen words of Sanskrit add a lilting charm to the whole process of describing the Universal Mother Adi Shakti from head to foot. She is the energy that’s behind all creation and the one who will absorb all the energies at the end of creation. She enables Lord Brahma to create, Lord Vishnu to maintain an equilibrium, and Lord Shiva to destroy. She is the force above all. The poetic metre used in Soundarya Lahari is ‘Shikarini’ which means ‘apex’ or ‘at the top’. It has 17 syllables for each of the four-lined mantras. With his Sanskrit embellishments, Shankaracharya has brought the goddess right in front of our mental eyes just like a sculptor who chisels a statue perfecting every curve to the minutest detail.

For the eighth of the series of Soundarya Lahari Series of Homam, Verses 64-72 will be worshipped. In this series, the saint compares the Mother’s tongue to a japakusuma which is a red hibiscus flower. This is the most venerated aspect where many gods reside and when we worship on the tongue, a devotee achieves immense knowledge and appeasement. The mantras also refer to Goddess Saraswati, the deity of music, fine arts and speech, who is forced to recede to the background as Parashakti's utterances are much more superior than the wisdom goddess' powers. When a person meditates on the Devi’s chin, (Verse 67), it restores peace, harmony and love in relationships.
