God is never limited to one form. The male trinity is composed of Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Shiva the destroyer. While the female trinity is composed of Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Shakti, who represent wealth, knowledge, and power. The male trinity is associated with verbs and the female trinity is associated with nouns. The Gods are doing things while the Goddesses are passive. The Gods are within all of us while the Goddesses are around us. Gods are used for the the spiritual subject and the Goddesses are used for the material object.
Goddesses do not judge people so anyone can pursue the traits they represent. Gods on the other hand do judge people and they create, sustain, and destroy society. Goddesses help us appreciate the serene and silent soul within us, God.
Red is the color of potential energy, and green is the color of realized energy. The earth is red before it rains, and it is green after is rains when all the seeds burst into life. This is why certain Gods and Goddesses are dressed wearing certain colors.
(Half male half female God.
The Indian culture is comfortable with the female sexuality and convey some of their Gods as females. While other religions around the world shun the idea of having a female God. Without God and Goddess their is neither.
