The Goddess Archetype!
Hello all,
Namaste! This week I was first planning to write about Mohini and her characteristics and the mythical implications. Then I remembered it is the 'auspicious nine days -Navarathri' for all the people who practice Sanathana Dharma (aka Hinduism) all over the world, which celebrates the Goddesses in this particular Dharma. So why not try to interpret the Goddess aspect and see how we can bring that into our lives with the use of some Mythology? Before starting this post, let us get the blessing of the Goddess as it is considered a very auspicious time.
Anyadha saranam Nasti
Twameva sananam mama,
Tasmath karunya bhavena
Raksha raksha jagatheeswari.
Meaning: There is no one else to help, but only you to help me. By your kind and nectar (grace giving- Karuna) filled eyes please look at me and protect and protect, Oh Goddess of the World!
( So she doesn't even have to give anything, but just by her looking at us alone we are protected and given every thing.)
Okay, now let us proceed with the post. There are many Goddesses described in Sanatana Dharma. The main three of them are Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswathi. Each of them has archetypal aspects, which we can bring into our life. Before that let us reminisce on what is an Archetype? The mythology and the symbols associated with the historical stories we tell ourselves through history and epics permeate both our conscious and subconscious mind and later from there they get into our thought and make patterns and forms. The patterns and forms have assimilated so much into our collective conscious ( a post for another date) we enact them in our daily life. So let us take the above said three Goddesses and see how we can imbibe the Goddess aspect and bring her into our life. Another way the Goddess archetype can be represented is calling it by the name 'Divine Feminine'.
Also here I want to mention that in each of us, male or female there is an inherent masculine and feminine archetype. So this post is not just for ladies, but for gents as well who want to know more about their inherent feminine aspect. A dad who loves his children dearly and nurtures them and does things for them is capturing and accessing his feminine aspects embedded deep within him.Here we are discussing only a few aspects of the above said three Goddesses. There are many other archetypal aspects, which cannot be covered in one post and innumerous Vedic Goddesses for that matter. Now let us start with Durga.
1, Durga: There was a demon or asura depicted in mythology called Mahishasura. He had the face of a human and the body of a buffalo. He was born to an asura king and a buffalo mother. (Sometimes mythology can be hard and difficult to digest, J). So he was called Mahishasura (Mahisha-buffalo, Asura-demon). Of course, every Asura wants to rule the world and become invincible.
So here also Mahishasura intent on conquering the world, started deep penance to Brahma, the creator. Brahma became happy and asked Mahisha to ask for a boon. Mahisha, like every other asura, asked for immortality and Brahma refused that (as every person born is supposed to die) and said that Mahisha will be only killed by a woman. Mahisha became happy as he was extremely strong, no woman will be able to kill him and started fighting with the Devas, defeated them and captured their abode and made a chaos of life on earth, heaven and other worlds.
The Devas fed up with the terror and fright reigning the world went and asked for help from the trinity in Sanatana Dharma, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. In Hindu mythology, Brahma is the creator, Vishnu, the preserver and Shiva, the destroyer. All three of them with their yogic powers merged their energies and created a Goddess called Durga (hard to defeat, or someone who is as tough as a fortress) and all the Devas gave her their weapons. Durga led the fight against Mahishasura and killed him, making true the boon given to him by Brahma and gave the heaven back to the Devas.
What does Durga represent? She was a tough lady who went to war against an Asura who was strong enough to topple the Devas. If Mahishasura was so strong, think of Durga who has to become even stronger to defeat and kill him. She lead the fight against Mahishasura, so that shows leadership to lead an army of devas. To lead an army what do you need? It is not enough to have strength, but there should be vision to imagine the steps needed to be taken and how to reach the outcome, strategy to overcome the enemy and leadership capability to lead an army through the uncharted territory of a war.
Now let us bring this into our world of today. Think of a lady or a male CEO, leading her/his company in today's market place. Her/his team is the army, the competitor or the market place is the other side (better not to use the word enemy, we are all friends, right?). Now to make one's business success in the world, what does one need? A vision to imagine the required steps need to be taken to reach the ultimate outcome or goal, strategy to bring the product to the top of the market or to overcome the competitor and the leadership ability to lead your company and people through the uncharted waters of the market place. Can you see the similarity between Durga and the CEO?
Durga needed the help of the trinity (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva) for her energy and the support of Devas for her weapons. The same way a leader today needs to collaborate with other leaders, mentors and the loyalty and support of her/his company people and board to become successful in today's marketplace. Durga also shows that ladies, as well as the gents, have the seed of vision and leadership embedded in their being. Whether to bring it out and use it for oneself is everyone's prerogative. The same can be applied to our war against the material and worldly desires and how we can overcome it by accessing the Durga like energies.
So ladies and gentlemen, don't consider yourself small and weak. Each one of us has been blessed with a Durga inside every one of us. So let us bring out the Durga aspect in our life as leadership, vision, strategy and a toughness to overcome the challenges of the marketplace or life and put it to effect to bring up our own life as well as those around us.
2, Lakshmi: The next Goddess we are going to discuss is Lakshmi. She is the Goddess in Vedic mythology who gives us the spiritual knowledge (remember the Lotus in her both hands) as well as the material wealth. Mahalakshmi has one hand showering gold coins, while there are two hands that hold the lotus of eternal truth. One hand shows us to surrender to her so that she can with one hand shower the gold coins and with the other two hands shower us with the ultimate knowledge of the truth.
Mahalakshmi was born out of the milky ocean during 'Samudra Mathanam'. As the moon came before her during the churning of the ocean she is considered the sister of Moon and like Moon, she is thought to be fickle minded. Remember Moon waxes and wanes; so in Astrology moon is known as Chanchala or always changing or shifting. Same way Lakshmi also is considered ever changing or moving.
Another point, when Mahalakshmi came out of the ocean, she came out bedecked in jewels, valuables and gold and was divinely beautiful. Every Deva including Sun, Indra, and Vayu and every Asura became enchanted with her beauty. All of them came to her requesting her hand in marriage. Even the hermit and sage-like God Siva was delighted by her charm. She gave a divine smile at all the eligible bachelors and scanned the entire arena. Then her eyes fell on the most bright and handsome person among all of them, who was attired in yellow silk, with a conch and a disc in his hands and glowing with gold, jewels and other ornaments and decided he is her bride groom and went and put her garland on his neck. Who was it? The eternal strategist in every Vedic mythical story- Mahavishnu.
Let us try to bring this to our everyday life. Remember the CEO from our previous scenario. Once you have set up a fantastic company with the help of your team, board members and are doing your best to capture the market after your production and quality assurance, what shows up at your doorstep? It is the money and the paraphernalia associated with it like checks, invoices, and balance sheets.
As mentioned before, Mahalakshmi the Goddess represents the market place, money associated with it and the business dealing happening with it. Now, what does she hold in her hands? Two lotuses showing that once you can capture the wisdom associated with business then the money starts to show up at your doorstep. But remember we said Mahalakshmi is ever changing and fickle minded. So we are supposed to be exceptional in our craft and should have the capacity to update and improve ourselves and our craft periodically. The minute we lax in our craftmanship, Mahalakshmi loses interest and goes with the person who is providing her with excellent skill sets and interesting times. The same way the market or the business she represents in Mythology is ever changing and never static. This is the attitude and the outlook a business or a corporate person need to develop.
Now another point. Whom did Mahalakshmi finally chose as her husband? The best person dressed among the lot who was glowing with his wisdom, attitude, jewelry, and temperament and who turned out to be the eternal strategist and master planner. Now consider the same to our modern day business world. Whom will Mahalakshmi choose to go with? It should be a person who is able to strategize to capture the market, who is well dressed for the corporate world and who wears an attitude of success and confidence.
But there is another twist as well. With all this strategy and master mindedness, Vishnu is considered humble to his core, helping his devotees at a moment's notice. So this shows that Mahalakshmi blesses a person with wisdom and money, only when she or he can stand on his laurels, improve on his/her talents and burnish his/her outlook with current and advanced knowledge and bring his/her products to the market with strategy and vision, while keeping an attitude of humility or humbleness in his/her core. The minute a person becomes egoistic or arrogant, slowly his/her business loses its customers and it fades away like a wall flower.
So what are we supposed to do to get the blessing of Mahalakshmi? Instead of going to the temple numerous times a day and putting money into the box, we should find our talents or passions, go behind it with full force, burnish or improve it constantly and showcase it to the World in such a way that the person as well as the World benefits. Then we don't have to go behind Mahalakshmi/Money and she/it will come chasing behind us.
3, Saraswathi: Now the last Goddess in the lot, is Saraswathi. She is considered the Goddess of learning, knowledge, music, arts, and wisdom. She is always depicted as wearing a white silk saree showing purity that comes with knowledge and with a Veena (a musical instrument) in her two hands, Vedas (the sacred Hindu scriptures) in her another hand and a pearl or a rudraksha ( a seed) necklace in her fourth hand.
According to Vedic mythology, the eternal power or the Brahman first created the first God, Brahma (But, mind you, Brahman and Brahma are two very different things). Then Brahma who is considered the God of creation, first created the sacred Vedas; later he started creating many beings, animals and other entities. But after a lot of creation he started feeling lonely. So he wanted to create someone who can give him company. So for the first time he created a lady that too a Goddess named Saraswathi. (All the stories, I am discussing here are from Hindu Mythology as that is one I am most comfortable with, to narrate. Hence I am using these stories to interpret the underlying philosophies and metaphorical meaning. It has never been my intention to propagate Hinduism, but to make people understand the hidden gems).
Remember, Brahma created the Vedas. So to create something, one has to be first a master of it. So surely Brahma would have been a master and well knowledgeable in the Vedas. So for him what type of a lady will he select? She has to be of his same wave length and she should be able to debate and argue Vedic points and philosophies with him, right? Otherwise if he created someone whom he cannot relate to, life and days will be boring for Brahma, isn't it? Hence he created Goddess Saraswathi as very intelligent, very knowledgeable and a Goddess who represents whatever knowledge that has ever been created or that ever will be created in the future. All the knowledge and wisdom comes under the guardianship of Saraswathi. So as she is 'Knowledge or Wisdom incarnate', she is also called 'SriVidya', Sri means sacred and Vidya means knowledge. So Saraswathi is literally known as 'Sacred Knowledge'.
Now Brahma himself became delighted by the knowledge Saraswathi portrayed, he made her his consort. Another aspect to mention here is as he created Saraswathi, in some stories she is considered his daughter as well. (Yes, mythological stories are some times very weird). Now think of Saraswathi; she most probably represents the proverbial geeky girl in the class with glasses and braided hair and her nose always in a Math book. As mentioned before Saraswathi is always shown in white silk portraying the purity of the knowledge and wisdom she constitutes; she is also considered as gentle and soft as the wind that flows over a river.
Now, let us come back to the CEO we were discussing before. To become successful in business what should a CEO need? He should have the knowledge about the market, wisdom and vison to foresee his/her strategy, a charming attitude to take the customers and his/her colleagues in his/her stride and the foresight to see any curveball that comes his/her way. Now whose blessings he/she should have to capture the market and be the top dog? Of course Saraswathi. Without her blessing and grace no one can become anything in life. To become successful in life, we need knowledge and wisdom, if not at least street smarts and common sense.
Consider who became Saraswathi's husband? Brahma who was the creator of Vedas and who himself created Saraswathi the literal 'sacred knowledge'. So Saraswathi to come and stay with a person what should that person need? He/she should have the outstanding knowledge, enormous wisdom and ultimately common sense. Above this, he/she also should have the humbleness/humility to carry the knowledge and wisdom with the utmost respect. Only with such a person, Saraswathi will come to stay.
To put all this in a nutshell: What do all the three Goddesses say to us human beings? Whether it is a business (I just used it as an example), career, job, entrepreneurship or even a normal 9-5 job, how can one succeed? He/she should have the courage to pursue his/her passion, wisdom and strategy to create wealth and later manage the money and finally the wisdom, knowledge, street smarts and common sense to take the business or job from a normal place to a fantastic ledge. So only a person who has the courage and boldness, strategy and vision and the knowledge and wisdom with the strong foundation of honesty and humility will be blessed by all the three ladies.
Let us all strive towards such a stature with our lives and get the grace of these three Goddesses. These are the archetypal energies that the three above-mentioned Goddesses bring to the material realm and it is always our choice or prerogative to capture their essence and make them work in our life.
I wish you a good weekend and I'll see you next Friday! 😉
Next week: Mohini or Maya?

Ralph Waldo Emerson writes, "There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance ; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried".
