Sri Bhuvaneswari

Bhuvaneswari Ambal is rules the Universe and all Lokas. She is called as Lokamatha, Sarvaloka Jaganmatha, Akilandakodi Brahmanda Nayagi and many other names. She is the 4th of the Dasamahavidya’s and she is the Queen of all lokas and this Universe. The holy vedas hail her as “Adithi” – the mother of all Gods, the the infinite and all-encompassing Mother, who holds the entire space in her cosmic womb. Thus the universe itself is her divine body, that is, she herself is the universe, while her infinite self, resides in all the living things in it. She kindles divinity in beings, and her presence makes the living things, the very representations of her own self. Bhuvaneshwari is thus, cosmos personified. Regarded as the earliest form of divine energy, she is a powerhouse, who can overrule even the mighty Navagrahas, the nine planets who decide about our destinies. There are numerous legends reading this Goddess, one of which speaks about Lord Rama propitiating Bhuvaneswari before his successful, final assault on demon Ravana. Immensely powerful that Goddess Bhuvaneshwari is, but she also remains an embodiment of love, mercy and kindness. She regards earthly beings as her own children, gets pleased with sincere prayers and bestows her generous blessings on them. Her love is not of the usual possessive kind, but is all pervasive that frees us from illusion, attachment and suffering. Her worship will promote a cosmic vision and an universal understanding. It can also get for the devotees a captivating personality and all conquering success. It can also bestow them with a variety of benefits, like health, wealth and fortune. It is the entire cosmos, the bhuvanatraya, consisting of the heavens, the atmosphere, and the earth. Because this is a living, dynamic phenomenon, Bhuvanesvari embodies all its characteristics and their interaction.
