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.
