Jai Maa Durge Adishakthi
In the Devi Gita, it is suggested that before the incarnation of one of her Shaktis as Parvathi, she appeared to King Himalaya and revealed divine, eternal knowledge to him. She explained herself, in the words of the Vedas, as having neither beginning nor end. She is the only, eternal truth. The whole universe is her creation. She is the only victor and the manifestation of victory itself. She is a manifested, un-manifested, and transcendent divinity. She then displayed her scarcely seen form to him: Satyaloka was located in her forehead; the created universe was her hairs; the sun and moon were her eyes; in her ears were the four directions; the Vedas were her words; death, affection, and emotion were her teeth; Maya was manifested by her smile.
Except for Shakta Puranas, Adi Shakti has never been mentioned with the name "Adi Shakti". But indirectly, they also consider her to be a supreme being.
Scriptures like Devi Bhagwati Purana, the four Vedas consider Kali as Dark energy which dissolute the complete universe along with time. Kushmanda gives birth to the universe in the form of a cosmic egg which manifested as the universe. Ultimately, Adi shakti herself is the Zero Energy that exists even after the destruction of the universe and before its creation.
Shiva Purana says one of Adi Parashakti's Shakti incarnated in materialistic form as Parama Prakriti/Durga from the left half of Lord Shiva during the beginning of the Universe.
Linga Purana states that Adi Shakti brings forth the evolution of life in every Universe through the union of every Parvati and Shiva in all of the Universes.
Skanda Purana and Markandeya Purana talk about Durga or Chandi as the divine mother of all creation and the truest material form of Adi Shakti.

Mother Bhawani is a ferocious aspect of Parvathi Maa. Bhawani means "giver of life", the power of nature, or the source of creative energy. In addition to her ferocious aspect, she is also known as Karunaswaroopini, "filled with mercy". Bhawani is Adi Parashakti herself and is regarded as the internal power of Lord Shiva. Even Adi Shankaracharya said that the Person who recites the name Bhawani with true devotion thrice every day will not acquire Sorrow, Sin, Illness & Unexpected Death.
Mother Bhawani was the tutelary deity of Shivaji Maharaj, the valiant Maratha ruler, and is held in great reverence throughout the state of Maharashtra. Bhavani is considered to be an embodiment of Ugra or ferocity, as well as a Karunaswaroopini - filled with mercy. Several castes, sub-castes, and families from Maharashtra consider her their family deity or Kuladevi. Her temple is located in Tuljapur where she is worshiped as “ Tulja Bhawani “. The Goddess in this temple holds the cut head of Mahishasura and hence she is a fierce form of Devi. The face of the goddess is beautiful and smiling. The goddess has no clothes carved on her upper body. The goddess is asta-bhuja(with 8 hands) Mahishasur Mardini Durga. As she is Parvathi, she has a swayambhu (self-manifested) shiv-lingam in her crown. She has an arrow holder on her back. Her long hair is coming out of the crown. The sun and the moon are present as witnesses of her victory over Mahishasur. Her lion stands near her. The idol is self-manifested and movable. It is moved three times a year from its place to the bedroom of Maa Bhavani. Below the lion, sage Markandeya is chanting the Durga-saptashati shlokas. The lady sage Anubhuti is on the left side of the goddess. She is in a hanging position and is meditating on the goddess. It is the Chala idol. It is moved thrice a year during the long sleeping periods of maa Bhawani.
The face of Sati had fallen in Tuljapur because of which the goddess is decorated in such a way that only her face is visible after covering her with sarees and ornaments. Bhawani came here to save Anubhuti from the demon kukur. In a battle with the goddess, kukur took the form of a buffalo. Bhavani cut his head, then he started coming in his original form, at that time she penetrated her trident in his chest. hence she is in form of mahishasur Mardini Durga.
Shivaji was a great devotee of Maa Tulja Bhawani and even named his sword Bhawani Talwar which he used during his war with his enemies. May the Karunaswarupini Mata bless us all. Jai Bhawani.
