THE MOTHER used to tell us so many things on Her own... She was once walking in the playground as the March Past was to begin in some time. She came and stood under the Neem-tree leaning against the wall in silence for a while. Then rather unexpectedly She began: I have come this time in all my aspects. This has never happened before in the history of the earth, I have never come in this totality. I looked at Her, wonder-struck. Looking gently at me, The Mother just smiled. I asked Her all of a sudden: Are you Mother Durga? The Mother smiled a little once again and nodded in agreement. I saw Mother Durga before me! What an indescribable form! Sri Aurobindos Durga-stotra flashed in my mind: Mother Durga! Rider on the lion, trident in hand, thy body of beauty armour-clad... Moments Eternal by Priti Das Gupta.
