Will the Mother get angry if I pray to other gods? I understand that she is a divine being, unlike humans, but I often feel guilty about it. Why do I have these feelings😥?

Why should She get angry? All is Herself. The gods themselves are Her children though She has a very special affection for mankind. In any case since all the gods are Her powers and aspects, it is She who grants the prayer and acts from behind even when we pray to the gods.

Affectionately,

I was ruminating on an issue and wanted your opinion. Sri Aurobindo said that Sri Ramakrishna was as much an Avatar as Christ, so his spiritual power or impact on world in numbers or quality must be similar if not equivalent to that of Christ. Sri Ramakrishna also reveals that Maa Sarada devi was the Avatar of Mahasaraswati, so she too must be equivalent in power and impact on the world to Sri Ramakrishna and therefore Christ. And Swami Vivekananda was a Rudra vibhuti who did Tapasya and realized the truth within, so his spiritual power and impact must be greater than Muhammad or even Shivaji or Augustus. And I don’t even need to mention Sri Aurobindo and the Mother themselves as the Supreme Avatars. And there were countless enlightened sages unleashed into India in the last century like the Heavens had broke loose😐.
