Maa Shailputri
One of the foremost forms of Ma Durga & the Navadurga worshipped on first day of Navratri. The name Shailputri comes from Sanskrit words ‘Shail’ which means mountains & ‘Putri’ that means daughter. She is also known as Ma Sati Bhavani, M Hemavati & Ma Parvati.
As per Tantra spiritual practice, Ma Shailputri is the goddess of the Mūlādhāra Chakra (Muladhara Chakra) or the Root chakra, and upon awakening this Shakti Chakra, one begins the journey to spiritual awakening and to their root purpose in life. #Spirituality #SanatanaDharma
Just as the mother's womb creates the basic environment for the embryo's growth, Mūlādhāra Chakra is the starting point for our spiritual development. Its the foundation from which we climb the Chakras' ladder; the root from which we receive our spiritual nourishment.

NAVADURGAS: MALE & FEMALE PERSPECTIVES
There is a difference between masculine and feminine interpretation of Nava Durgas. The masculine interpretation demonstrates the process of creation from nothingness to ego. The female interpretation follows the path of a woman’s life.
Separately, each shows a reverence for the path of creation and development of life. As a result of these interpretations, the Nava Durgas should be listed in the correct order to signify the individual phases of each interpretation. #Spirituality #SanatanaDharma
