Q: I had vision of Durga long time ago, got Durga mantra from my previous guru and I am still repeating 3 mala everyday. But the Gita insists on a one-pointed loyalty. Do I need to give up Durga mantra and worship only The Mother or no harm in continuing it?
ALOKDA: When we invoke Durga, we are invoking the Mother’s power of protection.
As long as we are aware that Durga is a child of the Mother and we are not seating her by the side of the Mother or dividing our loyalty and faithfulness between them, there should be no problem.
Best of course is to see Durga in Her and offer the mantra to the Divine Mother even though it be the Durga mantra.
