I was reading some about this Hindu godess Durga..
many hindus believe that Durga protects her devotees from the evils of the world and at the same time removes their miseries.

it is said she has 3 eyes and is also referred to as "Triyambake" meaning the three eyed Goddess.
the left eye represents desire (the moon),
the right eye represents action (the sun),
and the central eye knowledge (fire).

her vehicle is the mighty Lion [but many times she rides the tiger...] wich represents power, will and determination. riding the lion symbolises her mastery over all these qualities.
this suggests to the devotee that one has to possess all these qualities to get over the demon of ego

in one of her 8-10 arms she holds a conch shell that symbolizes the 'Pranava' or the mystic word 'Om', which indicates her holding on to God in the form of sound

she is often called just "Devi" mother of gods and she is the whife of lord Shiva, and one of her incarnations is the fearful godess Kali...

so... the reason for all this is that I have goten a mail from the child foundation that I am within that I my new "sponsor child" is decided, her name is Durga, and if I understand correctly she is 4,5 years old only. she lives somewhere around the bangalore area, so quit far south in the country of India.
I ave decided earlier to get a better connection with the new child I got, but now I need to think of what to say to such a small girl ha ha.
interesting!
