Devi's Virat-Swaroopam(Vishva-roopam)

Devi 's virat swaroopam ( Viswa-roopam) that includes the three worlds is beyond description. Even the trinity of gods and 1000 hooded Adishesha and Rishis who have learnt the 4 vedhas, 6 sastras and 64 arts also cannot describe devi's Virat Swaroopam. It is well known that sati devi's burnt bodily parts fell in different places establishing holy devi sthals.If one can imagine the fallen parts joined together, it would show the entire universe in "Virat swaroopam" of the devi. Sri Devi Maha Bhagavadham purana  describes in detail each aspect of the 'virat swaroopam' which corresponds to the different bodily parts as follows:-
Devi's hair is the realm above the sky, The moon and the sun are devi's two eyes. The 8 directions are the two ears. The 4 vedhas are the speech. The breadth is air. The heart is the whole world. The navel is the sky, the ring of jothi is the breasts. The neck is 'Mahalogam'. The face is the 'Janalogam', the fore head is 'thabo logam' and the 'Satyalogam' is the under the forehead. The two hands are the Indras. Sound is the earlobe and the nostrils are the Asvini-devas. The feelings are fire. The eyelashes are day and night. The eyebrows is the Brahma-sthanam.
The chin is water (River etc) The Incisors represent 'Yama'. Tongue is the 5 tastes. The wisdom teeth are the chandrakala, front teeth are adorance. The shadows denotes art forms. Eye sight is the heaven, the upper lip is Nanam (shy) and the lower lip is gain. The prushta-bagam (buttocks) are'dharma'. The stomach is the ocean, The prajapathi is the male organ. The Moutains are the bones, The rivers are pulse. Devi's tresses are the trees. clouds are the colours of her hair Devi's walk is considered as the changes in Life ( childhood, youth and old age) Evening and morning are devi's two dresses.The crescent is the mind, Vishnu is devi's 'gnana sakthi' and Rudra is her weapon. All animals are the upper part of the thigh. All 14 lokas are devi's lower part of the hips.
In Devi's 'virata-roopam' one can see the entire universe including the 14 lokas. The Virat -Swaroopam is freightening. But she is merciful. She is the creator, the sustainer, and also the destroyer. sakthi is the universe, and the Universe is sakthi.
