108 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, remains placid and devoid of all movements, without any
beginning or end. This 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.
