00:00Devi does not represent the woman, not at all, just as Shiva does not represent the man.
00:07What does Devi represent? Devi represents Prakriti itself, not one species, not one gender,
00:16not one place, but the entirety of the whole cosmos. In the books of Devi, it is not only human
00:25beings
00:26that are taken as sentient. Animals have a very prominent place, the trees, the forests.
00:32Devi represents all of that and that's what the scripture is written to warn against.
00:38Modern man's tendency to eat away at nature, to destroy nature, to subjugate nature, to dam the rivers,
00:48to clear the forests, to dig holes and mines and excavate and fossil fuels
00:55and release carbon dioxide into atmosphere and wipe out entire species and everything that is possible,
01:03we are destroying the nature and that's the characteristic of the demons.
01:07If you mess with nature, there is no way you will be spared.
