I don't think so. Yogmaya, Mahamaya and Maya are different from Adishakti or are all her. I'm not quite sure though :)

There is a lot of confusion as to which deity's incarnation Draupadi is.
Some people say that she is an incarnation of Ma Lakshmi.
Arjun neing Nara, married another incarnation of Ma Lakshmi in the form of Draupadi.
Some say that she was an incarnation of Ma Kali.
I personally feel it's the latter, coz, her nature was very similar to Ma Kali.
There are some tales regarding Draupadi being the combined incarnations of Parvati, Lakshmi, Sanchi and some other goddesses.
Apparenty, these Goddesses made pranks on a sage, possibly Narad or someone else, and got cursed that they would be born as humans on earth.
So, these goddesses combined together to become Draupadi.
Subhadra was indeed considered Yogmaya.
However, I read it somewhere online, that the girl child that escaped being killed by Kansa was Yogmaya, who was later born as either Subhadra or Draupadi.
Yes, it may been Draupadi, which is y Lord Krishna and Draupadi shared a brother-sister like relationship.
I cannot provide citations at this moment, but I have read all these from different articles online.


The Telugu Translation of Mahabharata, by Nannayya, Tikkanna and Yerranna, states that Draupadi rejoins Lakshmi post her death. So she was indeed the incarnation of Lakshmi. And Draupadi was Krishna's friend, sakhi.

Right, Adishakti is considered the supreme goddess. Lakshmi, Parvati and Saraswati are considered to be her manifestations, the divine mother of all.

I honestly have limited knowledge about these things.
But from what I know, according to Shakti Puran,
Adi Shakti is the beginning of everything. Basically, it's cosmic energy personified.
It is from this energy, other energies emerge in the form of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiv.
Ma Adi Shakti, then instructs Brahma, Vishnu and Shiv to create, preserve and destroy the universe in turn.
Then three other energies emerge out of Adi Shakti, and become consorts of the Holy Trinity, in the form of Ma Saraswati, Ma Lakshmi and Ma Kali.
The Holy Trinity, together with these consorts, then do the respective work entrusted to them by Adi Shakti.
Please note, this is what is written in Shakti Puran.
According to Vishnu Puran, Vishnu is the Supreme Being and Adi Shakti is the consort of Lord Shiva.

I've read this too. So I agree :D She was known as Para Brahman, the supreme being.

I second bunny. Mahamaya is different and definitely not the source of Adi-shakti.
Adi-shakti is the source of Goddess like Kali, Durga etc. Parvati, being the full Incarnation of Adi-shakti has full control over them. Parvati and Adi-shakti are one and the same.

It makes more sense that Draupadi is an incarnation of indranis

I have read that Adi-shakti is the female aspect of Shiva sincev he is Ardh-nareshwara

Draupadi, was a very strong woman, but after 13 years for not seeing her sons, she only has a few months before she will lose them forever. how can any mothers heart bare the pain. at least Subadra had 13 years where she was able to prepare herself and her son to face the war. maybe she does not have the foresight to see that her son will die. but i'm sure she can comprehend that there are chances he may not come back alive.
Draupadi may he Adishakti or 5 -6 goddesses together, but she is still and mother with a mothers heart.. and a mothers heart is pierced a hundred times when her child is hurt.

and Draupadi is going through a great turmoil, that does not make her week, she is Adishakti Mahamaya or whatever with real human feelings of grief and pain.

in Draupadi was emotionless about her sons deaths, i dont think any woman would be able to relate to her.

i love and admire every shade of Drapuadi, her strength, her compassion, her wrath. her never say die spirit, her wisdom, and her unbiased love for all the pandav children.

So is draupadi an incarnation of adhi shakti parvati or not because she is like the force which was born to establish dharma and so draupadi being an incarnation of adhishakti parvati and various other goddess had the full power to invoke the greatest battle of all times mahabharat 😕
