Pranam
1 It is from Devi mahatmyam so it's OK. But "*By you this universe is *
borne*, by you this world is created;*y you* it is protected,By you it is
consumed at the end,O Devi! You are the Supreme Knowledge, as well as
intellect and contemplation..."* this kind of text is all the way in the
puranas of every one; it means as said in BG a wrong method but inevitable
to groe; all the GODs are in ONE Brahmam.
2 Not only River but many in Nature is worshipped as Goddess. A FACT
YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE: ALL RIVERS ARE FEMALE NAMED; BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE
RIVER IN iNDIA WHICH IS MALE NAMED: BRAHMAPUTRA.

Vedas on Women

most learned scholars in this field to establish the truth.

A women speaks after waking up in morning, “My destiny is as glorious as
the rising sun. I am the flag of my home and society. I am also their head.
I can give impressive discourses. My sons conquer enemies. My daughter
illuminates the whole world. I myself am winner of enemies. My husband has
infinite glory. I have made those sacrifices which make a king successful.
I have also been successful. I have destroyed my enemies.”
The sun has gone up; my prosperity and happiness also have mounted high.
Quite sure, I have regained the love of my husband, triumphing over my
rivals.
I am the emblem, I am the head, I am supreme and now I dictate; my husband
must conform to my will; rivals now I have none.
My sons are destroyers of my enemies; my daughter is a queen; and I am
victorious. My and my husband’s love has a wide reputation.
O enlightened, I have offered that oblation which has been offered by the
one, the most illustrious and thus I have become renowned and most
powerful; I have freed myself from my rival damsels.
I am free from rivals; I am now the destructress of rivals, victorious and
triumphant; I have seized other’s glory as if it were the wealth of weaker
dames, who do not endure long. I have gained victory over these my rivals,
so that I have my imperial sway over this hero and his people.
