Kushmanda, ‘Ku-shm-anda’, or ‘Ku’ = a little; ‘ushma’ = ‘warmth'; ‘anda’ = ‘the cosmic egg’, is the creator of the universe. She is the Cosmic Egg that eventually becomes the Universe. She is depicted with eight or ten hands. Her mount is the lion.
May Mother Kushmanda, the revealer of the mysteries of the universe, grant us the knowledge supreme that results in the great liberation from sorrow and limitations!
Jai Mata Kushmanda ki!
