109. Mahāśakti
Devi represents a great desire or a desire for greatness. Both these meanings derive from the splitting Mahā + śakti. The word 'mahā' means both great, as well as Cosmos. Mahāśakti represents the striving of the individual to get over his bondage to achieve communion with God in the Cosmic Form.
