Goddess Durga is omnipresent. She is the personification of universal mother. She is a mother, who is present everywhere and who is embodiment of power and energy. Great mother who is present everywhere and who is embodiment of peace. I bow to that mother. I bow to Durga; I bow to Shakti. [DURGA STUTI]

Woman is the creator of the Universe; the universe is her form; Woman is the foundation of the world. She is the true form of the body. In woman is the form of all things, of all that lives and moves in the world. There is no jewel rarer than woman, no condition superior to that of a woman. [SHAKTISANGAMA TANTRA]

A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform. [DIANE MARIECHILD]
