She is being worshipped by various sects among them one of the important sects is called Vaamaacharam, she is the goddess for them too, in fact, she is very proud to say that she is the Swamini for them and given recognition in her Sahasranaamam. 

Every human being must do 5 types of Spiritual Efforts (Yagnas) to cleanse themselves from their inherited sins. She is fond of such Yagnaas which are 7 types according to Sasthras. These Yagnaas are two folds, one is Vedic way and the other one is Non-Vedic way. According to the Vedic system, these 5 Yagnaas are 1. Agnihothram, Darsapoornamaasam, Chathurmaasyam, Pasu Yaagam and Soma YAagam.  The Non-Vedic ones are 2. Deva Yagnam, Pithru Yagnam, Brahma Yagnam, Bhootha Yagnam, Manushya Yagnam (Athidhi), 3. Abhigamanam (Reaching closer to God), Upaadhanam (Collecting items for Pooja), Ijyam (Worship), Swaadhyaayanam (Practicing already learned Vedas), Yogam (Meditation), 4.

Sthree Poojanam in the name ofAadhuri, Sowthaki, Dhowrbhodhi, Thraaseesadhana, Bhavani, 7. Conducting five types of Fire Rituals at different objects; by doing this finally they create a fully-formed human itself, they are Soma Lokam, Dhyu Lokam, Bhoomi, Man and Woman.  There are five Brahmas known as Brahma, Rudra, Vishnu, Maheswara and Sadhasiva. These Dhaiva Purushas will become inactive if they don’t have the consortship of their Sakthis along with them. Such a stage is considered as Pretha (inactive) swaroopam. Divine Mother’s seat is made up of these first 4 Brahmas are the pillars and Sadha Siva as the table top.  This is also called Pancha Brahmasanam. In fact, when these Five Brahmas see divine mother, they give up everything and merge in her compassionate ocean. 

Divine mother’s presence is felt and realized by the great beings that everything in this Universe with 5 club elements is Parasakthi’s form itself. She is the mother as well as Goddesses for all revealed and unrevealed elements in this Universe and beyond. There are 64 types of Upacharaas (Service to God) are prescribed for Sri Devi Pooja. However, devotees offer her the most simple as well as important five upacharaas such as Ghandham (Sandle paste), Pushpam (Flowers), Dhoopam (Fragrance), Dheepam (Oil Lamp) and Naivedhyam (Food) and she is very fond of such worship. 

She is here to stay forever, whatever number of birth we take, we will continue to praise her glories. She always wishes for our welfare and protect us from all sorts of odds and obstacles. She is the symbol of patience and compassion towards every being in this earth. All we need to do is developing strong faith and keep worshipping her irrespective of the hurdles that we come across in life. 

Earth is giving shelter for all, likewise, She is giving shelter to all beings. Realized great Rishis have identified that at the time of death, a person’s mindset will be in one of these four states. In that, Dhanya is considered to be the best which will give the soul to adore the divine body in their next birth. They are Artha, Raudra, Dhanya and Sukla. She is the custodian of justice (virtues). She ensures her devotees are always virtuous while living on this earth. Some of the best virtues are Jithendriyathwam (conqueror of sensual pleasure), Saucham (Purity), Maanglyam (Pious), Matha Aachara Anushtanam (Religiously and Spiritually living), Bhakti(Devotion) towards Divine Mother.
