Durga |
Deity
Durga |
Besides these 108 names, Durga is also called by many other names,
such as, Rati, Barani, Tamasi, Nanda, Tulsi Devi, Roudri, Naini
Devi etc.
The wheel of Time creates the moments, seconds, minutes, hours,
days, nights, fortnights, months, equinoxes, years, yugas, manwantaras,
kalpas and so on, while the Mahakala (the eternal time), though
three fragments of time rise up like waves of sea on his body, Mahakala
remains placid and devoid of all movements, without any beginning
or end. Mahakala lies at the feet of Mahashakti who remains as the
neutral zone of all manifestations in life. She is the eternal cosmic
energy. She is worshipped all over India with the same ardour under
different names and manifestations-the most benign face of the goddess
is Durga. She is Kali. She is Shakti. She is Durga. She is the supreme
Goddess of the universe. |
