I believe that there first existed a womb through which everything came
to be created, which I call the golden womb or the ‘Hiranyagarbha’. This golden
womb, this one energy or ‘shakti’ later disintegrated into three - These three
new shaktis came to be known as Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati.
These names that have been conferred upon these shaktis might be mythical in
nature but the purpose of the existence of these shaktis is not mythical.
I believe that every idea or concept has to be contained in a time, space
and by a name; so I have tried to use the same names that have traditionally
been used for these shaktis. Now, these three shaktis further disintegrated into 7,
then 15, 21, 42, 64, 81 and so on; thus these energies constantly kept increasing.
These then moved into different spaces and led to the creationof different
things and being. And I feel these energies are still further disintegrating and
developing into many forms, of which we are not yet aware.
Thus we can never be sure how many forms of this ever-expanding
energy, and by energies, I am referring to the Yoginis, actually exist in a given time and space.
