Who is Parashakti or Adyashakti?

Parashakti or Adyashakti as described in the Atharvashirsha Upanishad, introduces herself as the root cause of creation, identifying as the Supreme Brahman. She embodies both Prakriti (nature) and Purusha (spirit), the origin of the material and conscious worlds. This idea is further explained in the Shakta Upanishads and Atharvaguhya Upanishad, where Brahman's nature is attributed to Shakti. These texts present Brahman in a feminine form, emphasizing Shakti's spiritual and philosophical importance.
