== As the feminine Trimurti ==
[[File:MahaKali MahaLakshmi MahaSaraswati.jpg|thumb|[[Mahakali]] (left), [[Mahalakshmi]] (middle) and [[Mahasaraswati]] (right)]]
{{Hinduism}}
{{Saktism}}
Whereas in androcentric denominations of [[Hinduism]] the feminine Tridevi goddesses are relegated as consorts and auxiliary deities to the more eminent masculine [[Trimurti]] gods, in the [[Shaktism|Shaktidharma]] denomination the feminine Tridevi goddesses are given the eminent roles of [[Mahasaraswati|Creator (Mahasaraswati)]], [[Mahalaxmi|Preserver (Mahalakshmi)]], and [[Mahakali|Destroyer (Mahakali)]], with the masculine Trimurti gods being relegated as the auxiliary deities as agents of the feminine Tridevi.

== As consorts of the Trimurti ==
[[Saraswati]] is the goddess of learning, arts, and cultural fulfillment, as well as the consort of [[Brahma]], the creator. She is cosmic intelligence, cosmic consciousness, and cosmic knowledge.

[[Lakshmi]] is the goddess of wealth, fertility, auspiciousness, light, and material and spiritual fulfillment, as well as the consort of [[Vishnu]], the maintainer or preserver. However, Lakshmi does not signify mere material wealth, but also abstract prosperity, such as glory, magnificence, joy, exaltation, and greatness, and spiritual fulfillment which translates to [[moksha]].

[[Parvati]] is the goddess of power, war, beauty, love, as well as the consort of [[Shiva]], the destroyer of evil or transformer.

==Importance==
[[Shakti]] or Vimarsh is the power that is latent in pure consciousness, required to reach pure consciousness and essential to create, sustain and destroy. Just as [[Energy]] can never be created nor be destroyed, but changes from one form to another; [[Devi]] took many incarnations to do different tasks. God is both male and female. But all different forms of energy or powers of God are with the Trimurti in the form of [[Mahasaraswati]], [[Mahalakshmi]], and [[Mahakali]]. That is to say, a non-dimensional God creates this world through Srishti-Shakti (Mahasaraswati or Sound or knowledge), preserves through Sthiti-Shakti (Mahalakshmi or Light or resources), and destroys through Samhara-Shakti (Mahakali or Heat or Strength). It is also seen that God cannot create, generate or destroy because God does not possess any attribute. So True Energy or Adi Shakti does everything on God's behalf.

===Outside India===
Via [[Buddhism_in_Japan|Buddhism]] and [[Shinbutsu-shūgō|syncretism]] with Japanese [[Kami|Shinto deities]], the Tridevi entered Japanese mythology as the goddesses [[Benzaiten|Benzaitennyo 弁財天女 (Sarasvati)]], [[Kisshōten|Kisshoutennyo 吉祥天女 (Laxmi)]], and [[Daikokuten#Goddess_Daikokutennyo|Daikokutennyo 大黒天女 (Mahakali)]].
