Bhuvaneshwari

Bhuvaneswari means the queen or ruler of the universe, the realm of being. She is the Divine Mother as the queen of all the worlds. The whole universe is her body and all beings are ornaments on Her infinite being. She carries all the worlds as a flowering of Her own Self's nature.

In the Vedas she is known as Aditi, the infinite or the indivisible Mother, the great origin and cosmic womb, who is space. Hence she is the Mother of the Sun. She creates space within our own consciousness to give birth to the Divine nature within us. She is the cosmos personified as a Goddess. To worship Her promotes a cosmic vision and frees us from the narrowness of opinion and belief. She helps go beyond all identifications with creed, class, race, sex, nation and religion, to a universal understanding.

She is the power of love, which creates space and gives freedom. It does not limit or try to possess, which is the action of selfish desire. Yet the space of love is not an empty or unfriendly space. It is a space that nurtures and gives room to grow and flower. The Love of Bhuvaneshwari breaks us free from attachment and suffering by making us aware that true love has no form but also has all forms.
