AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How is Maa Durga, Mahalaxmi, Maheswari, Maha Saraswati and Maha Kali related to Sri Aurobindo and Maa? Did these Rishis worship them or are they are mightier than the above mentioned devis?🦁🔱🩸✨👁️

The gods and goddesses are all children of the Divine Mother. Some of them are helpers and collaborators in Their Work.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
