Durga

So calling her in, it's like you need to be ready for things to shift and change because if she's going to purify something and that energy is going to release it, transform it, it activates that powerful change within us too.

So like the Durga, the Kali from the Hindu tradition, the Durga energy is more inner strength, courage to make those changes in our lives, to help us step forward in that leap of faith.

Yeah.

And then the Kali as well to like, okay, what needs to clear? What needs to be purified here for the highest good, for that highest soul alignment to come through? And the balance of each, right? The softer goddess energies and the more intense, fierce, but they're equally potent.

at that moment an arrow struck and killed the tiger i fainted away and when i recovered i found myself quite alone my daughter had disappeared and the child as i suppose was carried off by the peals who shot the beast after a time i was found by a compassionate cowherd who took care of me till my wounds were healed and i am now wandering about in the hope of finding the boy and of hearing some tidings of my daughter and the other child After giving me this account, she went on her way again, and I distressed that the son of your majesty's friend should be in such hands it might set out in search of him.

After some days I came to a small temple of Durga, where a party of peels were about to make the child an offering to the goddess, in the hope of obtaining success through her favour, and they were then deliberating in what manner they should kill him, whether by hanging him on the branch of a tree and cutting him to pieces with swords, or by partly burying him in the ground and shooting at him with arrows, or by burying him with young dogs.

When I went up to them very humbly and said, O Kiratas, I am an old Brahmin.

having lost my way in the forest i laid down my child whom i was carrying while i went away for a moment to try to find an opening out of the dentist's ticket when i came back he was gone i have been searching for him ever since have you seen him Is this your child? said they.

Then turning to Mitragupta, he said, It is now your turn, and he immediately began his story thus.

End of chapter 9 chapter x adventures of mitragupta my lord i set out on my travels in search of you like the rest in arriving one day at damalipta i saw a great crowd collected in a large park outside the city while looking about me to find some one of whom I might inquire what this festival was, I espoused a young man sitting alone in an abba, amusing himself with playing on a lute.

Going up to him, I asked, What is this concourse of people? Why do you sit here alone, away from the others? He answered, A long time ago the king of this country, having no children, made many prayers and offerings to the goddess Durga.

in the hope of propitiating her.

So talking to my higher self, talking to Christ consciousness, talking to Mary, talking to the divine, talking to God.

Ganesha, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Durga, all the gang.
