In more than one way, Parvathi manifestations are connected to tantric practices either through the mainframe Mahavidyas or independently. So one has, Annapurna, Aparajita, Bala, Bhadrakali, Chamunda, Gayatri, Indrakshi, Jagadhatri, Kamesvari, Katyayani, Rajarajaswari and Sivaduti. At times she is venerated as a manifestation for a particular purpose. PERSONIFICATIONS: Mother Parvathi is also worshiped in many other forms from being grama-devata or village deity to formalized temple goddess. In that sense yantras are twin edged blades.
Inappropriate mantras and rituals also have negative results, if not harm to the person. While Yantras are powerful sources of spiritual energy, they also cause immense harm to innocent worshippers or those who misuse them. Each of the Mahavidya Devis have their own Yantras.Caution is to be exercised in the use of chakras and yantras. People use these patterns known as yantras as amulets and protective devices against evil spirits and adverse conditions. SRI CHAKRA: Sri Chakra is a geometric pattern believed to be invested with the power of the Devi and possess the capacity to manifest desired reality if it is worshipped in a proper manner accompanied by appropriate mantras. Otherwise the general consensus would be use of the term Mother Lalitha Tripurasundari, linked to the Sri Chakra. So one has Mother Durga spearheading the Mahavidyas. Durga is the Mother Goddess aspect of Parvathi. In Tantra, Mother Parvathi is often referred to as Durga. (please refer to individual postings on the Maha Vidaya Mothers) They are Mothers Kali, Tara, Sodasi, Bhuvanesvari, Bhairavi, Chinnamasta, Dhumavathi, Bagala, Matangi and Kamala. Here, Mother Parvati manifests as ten Tantric Goddesses to expose ten great branches of jnana. TANTRAS: The Dasamahavidyas means the ten great branches of knowledge. It is also a common depiction that they carry the same weapons as the male-counterparts. Each of the goddesses display the basic attributes of the gods from which they descended. These goddesses are the combined energy of Lord Brahma, Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, Lord Skanda and Lord Varaha. Mother Kali manifests seven ways as Brahmi, Maheswari, Kaumari, Vaisnavi, Vahahi, Narasimhi and Aindri. Mother Parvathi takes a terrible form as Kali. She is the Siva-vamanga half of Shiva as Ardhanariswara. She is separately known as Shakti, the material energy of Siva. MAA KALI: Mother Parvathi also has an independent existence outside the company of her husband Lord Shiva and Her children Ganesha and Skanda. As a young virgin Gowri, she does penance to win the heart of Shiva and marries him. So Dakshayani nee Sati is reborn as Parvathi.
Unable to stand the insult Dakshayani brings her life to an end. Daksha insulted the daughter and more so, the son-in-law, Shiva. In the Daksha yagna ceremony, Parvathi’s previous incarnation, Dakshayani, immolates herself. Kenopanishad makes mention of Uma Haimavati, the daughter of Himavat declaring the greatness of Brahman. Mother also occupies Prakriti and one-half Parva of the universe, while the Lord occupies the other half in His aspects of Iswara or Purusha. Her name origins are linked to being the daughter of the Himalayas – Parva.
Mother Parvathi is the consort of Lord Siva.
