Goddess Durga is the "Protection" aspect of the divine mother. Of course she lacks the Ananda aspect of the divine mother but still based on above can we say that Goddess Durga is a more complete form of the supreme mother compared to other forms available in our scriptures?👑🦁🔥🔴

Best would be to invoke the Divine Mother in her completeness through the mantra ‘Om Anandamayee Chaitanyamayee Satyamayee Parame.’

Affectionately,

What does the chant “OM SHANTI” truly signify—is peace merely the repetition of a sacred word, or a state to be deeply imbibed within the heart? We often define peace simply as the absence of external conflict, agitation, or turbulence, but this surface calmness is only temporary and amounts to nothing more than restraining turbulent emotions. What, then, constitutes real, unshakable inner peace, and how can one truly attain and sustain it? 🕉️🕊️

Peace is not an absence of disturbance. Even inertia is free from disturbance. Peace is something positive and powerful, a fundamental foundational status of the Divine, seemingly equal and non-reactive like Shiva bearing and upholding the dance of Kali upon his chest or the ocean holding its tremendous energy by its own power of self-limitation. maryada.
