What you’re singing

a garland of names for the Divine Mother. Mata, the mother; Kali, who cuts through time and illusion; Durga, the fierce protector; Devi, the goddess herself; Saraswati, wisdom, music and speech; Narayani, the feminine face of the sustainer; Lakshmi, beauty and abundance; Parvati, love and devotion. One mother, many faces, every one of them alive in you.
