Shakti ~ Saraswati, Lakshmi, Parvati
 
 
Faith Symbol Main Page
Shakti is the mother goddess, the source of all energy in the universe. In Hinduism every god has his Shakti and without that energy they have no power. Saraswati, the goddess of learning and knowledge, is the energy of Brahma; Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, is the energy of Vishnu; and Parvati, the goddess of power, is the energy of Shiva.

These goddesses are matched with the shapes corresponding to their respective spouses— Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. The triangle, an elemental shape, here represents basic law or knowledge. The circle, in the shape of a coin, represents wealth. The heart, enclosing the other two and the largest and most complex shape, here represents power. See Hindu.
