Part 2: Harigatha
The Rise of the Trinity.
The trinity sensing that this goddess was far greater than what they can comprehend, bowed before her. “Who are you mother?” asked Brahma. “Who are we?” asked Vishnu. “And how we came into existence?” asked Shiva. With gentle voice that echoed around the endless cosmos the goddess replied, “I am Adi Shakti, the source of energy. I am Mahamaya, the mother of this endless cosmos. I with my own energy created you and hence I am your mother.” Turning towards Brahma the goddess claimed, “The universe shall call you Brahma- the one who will create the brahmanda (universe). I have created you so that you can continue the process of creation. You will have infinite knowledge and with that knowledge you would create the universe, the Vedas, and the scriptures. The essence of vidya shall take the form of a goddess and shall accompany you with your work of creation.” With this she created another radiant being. The goddess complexion shone like the radiant full moon. Clad in pure white garments and adorned with a garland of white lotuses, she embodied wisdom, purity, and eternal knowledge. She held a veena, a sacred book, a rosary, and a water pot, with divine serenity illuminating her face. Mahamaya looked at the goddess and claimed, “You are Saraswati- the goddess of knowledge. Your knowledge is as infinite as the ocean. The world shall preach you to attain knowledge. You shall accompany with Brahma to complete the process of creation.” Looking towards Vishnu the goddess stated, “The universe shall know you as Vishnu- the one who pervades. You shall protect and prevail whatever Brahma creates. The essence of Shree shall accompany you as your wife and shall spread prosperity throughout the universe.” She then brought forth another luminous being. Her golden complexion shimmered like the first rays of the rising sun, illuminating all directions with divine splendour. Clad in crimson silk and adorned with dazzling jewels and fragrant lotus garlands, she embodied prosperity, beauty, and fortune. She held lotus flower in one of her hands, a water pot, and a pot of gold coins. Looking at the goddess Mahamaya asserted, “You are Shree or Lakshmi- the goddess of wealth, fertility, and prosperity. The universe shall worship you to become more prosperous.” Mahamaya now turned towards Shiva and continued, “You are Shiva- the auspicious one. You are Rudra- the one who carries out destruction. My essence of Shakti shall accompany you as your wife.” From the infinite light within her arose yet another glorious being. Her complexion shone like molten gold, while her eyes reflected unwavering devotion and boundless compassion. Clad in crimson and gold garments, she radiated divine beauty, purity, and the serene majesty of the Eternal Mother. Her face glowed with the brilliance of the dawn, and her gentle smile carried the warmth of infinite love and devotion. Mahamaya looked at Shakti and stated, “The universe will know you as Shakti and shall preach you for power and strength. Shiv will always be incomplete without you.”
All the Gods nodded in agreement. Suddenly the Devis disappeared. Brahma said in confusion, “Where did our wives go?” Mahamaya gently smiled and replied, “When the right time comes you will find your wives. Nothing happens before time. Time is something that is omnipresent and omnipotent. Time is something greater than all of us. We do not have our control on time just like we cannot stop a flowing river. Now time has come to start the divine cycle. I must now leave.” The trinity bowed to the disappearing Goddess. Thus began the eternal work of the Trinity. Each embraced the sacred duty that would maintain the balance of the cosmos. यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत ।अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् ॥ ४.७ ॥ परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम् ।धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे ॥ ४.८ ॥ "Whenever righteousness declines and unrighteousness rises, I manifest Myself. To protect the virtuous, destroy evil, and re-establish dharma, I appear age after age." ~Krishna
