Letters of Sri Aurobindo

1. The Mother: Individual, Universal, Transcendent

Fragment ID: 19007

Is Durga a form and name of Mahalakshmi? Recently I heard the name “Durga” repeating itself in me and I felt release from heavy oppression. I am also attracted to the name “Krishna” and sometimes in a semi-sleep condition I find myself repeating “Durga-Mahakali-Krishna”.

Durga combines the characteristics of Maheshwari and Mahakali to a certain extent,– there is not much connection with Mahalakshmi. The combination of Krishna and Mahakali is one that has a great power in this Yoga and if the names rise together in your consciousness, it is a good sign.
