The Soundarya Lahari says " Shivaha shakthya yukthaha yadi bhavathi shakthyaa prabhavithum ".
Only with the association of shakthi, Shiva becomes powerful to activate the universe . We may say Shiva represents the pure consciousness who is the witness of the play of sathwa , rajas , and thamas leading to the creation of human beings . These three gunas by various combinations with the five elements create the world..
The Moon , Sun , and fire are within the Shakthi and all planets constellations and Time are Her contribution .
She is the will (icha) , Knowledge( jnana ) and action (kriya)
She is the buddhi , the intellect , manas the mind , and ahankaara the ego .
She represents wakeful, dream and deep sleep state and she is beyond these as athma witnessing these states.
She directs the trimurthies to perform the creation , sustenance and destruction and after which stands beyond that .
She represents the five elements viz ether , air, fire, water and earth .
The moon as the mirror of reflection of Devi holds together all creation and creatures and human beings by playing on their minds
In conclusion we may say that the navaavarana puja leads human beings to realize the ultimate through stage by stage acquisition of power denoted by each aavarana and worship Sri Maha Thripura Sundari at the bindu as Shiva and Shakthi in unison .
