🍀. Spiritual Significance :

As Kushmanda among the nine durgas , as Mahalakshmi in Shrimad Devi Bhagawatam and as Kamakhya in tantras , Devi is regarded as the very source of everything . She is regarded as universal mother simply because everything that exists is born out of her . She is the womb / source from which Shiva ( time ) , Vishnu ( space ) and Bramha ( matter ) are also born , she is the Mother of all gods.

Kushmanda means from whose ushma / self energy , the Bramhanda ( universe ) is born . She is the mother Goddess to everything that is animate and inanimate . Creations have born out of her and goes back to her . She is the beginning and she is the end of cosmos .

Devi is consciousness and bliss incarnate as Saguna which is worshiped as Kamakhya , Mahalakshmi , Lalita , Kalika and other Vidya forms of her , and also she is formless , unknown or unseen as Nirguna parabramha . In form and as formless both ways she exists . When she's in a form she becomes the mother and creates life and universes , when she becomes formless she devours everything back within herself .

Goddess is regarded as the supreme Godhead in Hindu spirituality , almost every scripture speaks in volumes of her being the very source of universe . She is the Hiraṇyagarbha from which all life is born . In medieval times when their was a rise of male deity centric traditions in Hinduism such as shaivism and Vaishnavism , their was an attempt to hide the ancient perceived science of sages and gurus who mentioned the primordial womb or Devi as the supreme source of existence .

Today in this modern world , truth can't be hided in the name of ignorance such as gender bias . The true essence and science of Sanatana Dharma must unfold.
