Divine Mother Embodiment

All women are the embodiments of Śakti. It is the Primal Power that has become women and appears to us in the form of women. 

It is said in the Adhyātma Rāmāyana that Nārada and others praised Rāma, saying: 'O Rāma, Thou alone art all that we see as male, and Sita, all that we see as female. Thou art Indra, and Sita is Indrani; Thou art Śiva and Sita is Sivani; Thou art man, and Sita is woman. 

What more need I say? Thou alone dost exist wherever there is a male, and Sita wherever there is a female.' 

- Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, P 336 (14 December 1883)
