Worshipping God in the form of mother is an age old practice among Hindus. Of these the most popular Goddess is Lalitha. She is the consort of Lord Shiva and it is believed that by worshipping her, several super human powers can be obtained.
Sindhuraruna vigraham trinayanam manikya mouli spurath
Thara Nayaga sekaram smitha mukhi mapina vakshoruham,
Panibhayam alipoorna ratna chashakam rakthothpalam vibhrathim,
Soumyam ratna gatastha raktha charanam, dhyayeth paramambikam.
Meditate on that Ambika,
Who has a body of the color of saffron?
Who has the three graceful eyes?
Who has a jeweled crown?
Adorned by the moon,
Who always has a captivating smile?
Who has high and firm breasts?
Who has wine filled cup made of precious stones,
And reddish flowers in her hands,
Who forever is the ocean of peace?
And who keeps her red holy feet.
