Ashta-Matrika (Wikipedia)
I started with article to help with my decision about my class project. I am thinking about doing a story book about Kali. Turns out that she is one of ten Mahavidyas, or group of Hindu Goddesses. She most known for killing demons. Over time she has also been viewed as a protector who grants liberation from life and death cycles.
Article 2: Devi Mahatmya https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devi_Mahatmya
This is the text that Hindu Goddesses appear. It is divided into three episodes. The first is about Devi in as Shakti (universal form), and is involved in creation. The second episode is about Durga killing Mahishasura, and restoring order. The third episode is about Kali coming out of Durga's head to kill three demons. The image I used for this blog is from this Wikipedia article.
Article 3: Shakti https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakti
Shakti is a concept or personification of feminime creative power. Shaktism thinks that the Goddess is the supreme Brahman. Other Godesses are just different aspects of her. The Shakti Goddess is called Amma (mother).
Article 4: Brahman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahman
Brahman is the highest universal principle in Hinduism. It is also known as the ultimate reality in the universe. It is mentioned with Atman (soul, self). It is mentioned in the Vedas.
