It is about the time when the universe was no more than a void full of darkness.
There were no indications of the world anywhere. But then a ray of divine light, which is ever existing, spread everywhere, illuminating each and every nook of the void. This sea of light was formless. Suddenly, it started taking a definite size, and finally looked like a Divine Lady, who was none other than Goddess Kushmanda herself.
The birth of the universe occurred because of the silent smile of Goddess Kushmanda. She was the one who produced the Cosmic egg.
Her smile sent away the entirety of the darkness and thus formed a new creation of the universe. She gave light and life to the entire universe with her silent smile.
The earth, planets, sun, stars and the galaxies were all brought into being. But to sustain life, the world needed the sun God.
So, the Goddess centred herself in between the sun and she became the cause of the energy and light necessary for life.
The sun gives life to the world and Goddess Kushmanda herself is the power of the sun and is the source of all energy when she resides within the core of the Sun God. It was to create a balance in the universe and provide life to all living beings from the sun rays, her power gives the sun its capability to give life to everyone, as she herself is Shakti.
