THE FOUR STAGES OF CREATION

Creation came about through four stages of existence. Whatever aspect of Adi Shakti incarnates in these different states or stages, all emerge from the one, unique personality of the Primordial Mother.
The four stages in their chronologically descending order are:

I. UTPATTI STAGE (GENESIS) –

This is the abstract stage until the OM (Pranava) is liberated, and the Primordial Kundalini is created.

In the Utpatti stage, Almighty God and Adi Shakti exist as:

 PARAMESHWARA and PARAMESHWARI.
II. VAIKUNTHA STAGE –

This is the stage after the Primordial Zygote has reached full maturity as the Body of the Virata, with the Deities present in the Spinal Chord and Brain of the Primordial Being.

In the Vaikuntha stage Almighty God and Adi Shakti take on three aspects :

• SADASHIVA and MAHAKALI
• VIRATA and VIRATANGANA (MAHALAKSHMI)
• HIRANYA GARBHA and MAHASARASWATI (PRAJAPATI)

III. KSHIRSAGARA STATE –

This is the stage when the Primordial Being has reached final maturity with all His contents. In the third stage of Kshirsagara Almighty God and Adi Shakti take on the following aspects:

•  PARAMESHWARA as ISHWARA  & PARAMESHWARI as ISHWARI
• SADASHIVA as SHIVA  & MAHAKALI as KALI
• VIRATA as VISHNU &  VIRATANGANA as LAKSHMI
• HIRANYA GARBHA as BRAHMADEVA &  MAHASARASWATI as SARASWATI

IV. SAMSARA STAGE –

This is the fourth stage of creation, and is the world created by human beings on this earth right up to the modern times. She has taken birth in the four ages (Yugas) of the Samsara stage:
 I. SATYA YUGA
