~ Goddess Durga ~
This is my mother Goddess Durga. She is, perhaps, the most widely worshipped aspect of Sakti. Goddess Durga represents the power of the Supreme Being that preserves moral order and righteousness in the creation. The Sanskrit word Durga means a fort or a place that is protected and thus difficult to reach. Durga, also called Divine Mother, protects mankind from evil and misery by destroying evil forces such as selfishness, jealousy, prejudice, hatred, anger, and ego.
The worship of Goddess Durga is very popular among Hindus. She is also called by many other names, such as Parvati, Ambika, and Kali In the form of Parvati, She is known as the divine spouse of Lord Shiva and is the mother of Her two sons, Ganesha and Karttikeya, and daughter Jyoti. There are many temples dedicated to Durga's worship in India.
My beautiful Divine Mother
This universe is your body
alive and blushing
with cosmic streams
and rivers of love
I bow to the rocks
ancient siblings of boundless love
I bow to the sun and the sailing planets
who whistle songs of love
to one another
from deep within the inner spheres
And I bow to every atom
eternally in love with every other atom
all of them whirling dervishes
ecstatic in their dance
of joyous coexistence
My heart melts at the sight
of this endless love feast
And I deeply regret
that my hugging arms
are so few and so short.
