In Hinduism, there are three major sections, Shakthas in regard to Goddess Parvathi or Shakthi, Vaishnavism in regard to Lord Vishnu or Krishna, Shaivism in regard to Lord Shiva. Parvathi Devi, Daughter of the mountain is the primary personification of Shakthi herself and she is regarded as the primary deity of the Shakthas. Parvathi's consort is Shiva, her children Lord Ganesha and Muruga, but it is a fact that she is the mother of all the Gods and Goddesses, entire humanity and the creation itself. Shakthi's base is from Parvathi, she manifests her wrath as Durga and Kali; benevolence as Lakshmi and Saraswathi. And she is the manifestation of all the other Goddesses, Shakthas believe that when we worship and Goddesses, even other God, we are worshiping ultimately Goddess Parvathi. She is the sagun swaroop of Adi Parashakthi, it is said as Adi Shakthi swaroopa Devi Maa Parvathi.

Parvathi, the Devine feminine is Shakthi's second incarnation as a wife to Lord Shiva. Sati was the first wife of Shiva. After her death her divine body parts are cut into pieces by Lord Vishnu and they all fell all over in and around India. All the places where the pieces of her body fell, all have become Shakthi Peethas, the seats of the Goddess Sati or Shakthi, have become the sites od Devi's temples but due to Shathi or Sati's death Shiva turned his back completely on the world, he resumed his life as an ascetic in a remote Himalayan cave. During this time the Demon Taraka overran the earth and heaven below. Shakthi is the manifest Divinity and Shiva is the transcendent Divinity, without Shakthi to balance Shiva, the Cosmic order was in disarray. Lord Shiva has lost his interest in the world and in any event was powerless to help it(In Sanskrit Shakthi means Power or Energy). All the gods prayed to Shakthi to reincarnate once again and asked her to make Shiva back to world, so that the cosmic balance can be balanced and the world can be saved. Goddess Shakthi agreed and she took birth again as Parvathi, Daughter of Himavan, Lord of the Mountains.

Parvathi Devi grew up as a stunningly beautiful, alluring and charming woman. Her mission of her birth is to lure Shiva out of his asceticism and make him take her as a consort. So everyday she use to visit the cave of Shiva, sweep the floor, decorate with flowers and offer him fruits and offer gifts on he earth, so that she can win his Love.

But Shiva not even opened his eyes to notice her, So Parvathi asked the aid from Priti ans rati, the goddesses of Love and longing. They transformed Shiva's cave into a beautiful and sensuous pleasure garden, exotic birdsongs, filled with fragrant flowers, buzzing honeybees. Setting the stage like this Kama, the beautiful God of Love, appeared and shot Shiva with the arrows of desire. Shiva got unamused, opened his third eyes on his forehead and blasted Kama with an energy beam that incinerated him on the spot. Since Kama was blasted Love was lost from the world. Do not despair, Parvathi informed all the gods that Shiva will become my consort and when he does that Kama will be reborn.
