Imported quote 17497 So these things are going on in the name of worshiping God. But that is not God worship. That is worshiping the fearful personified by the criminals. Just Durga... Kali is expansion of Durga. Just like Visnu is expansion of Krsna, similarly, Krsna's energy... Energy has also many expansion. Dasa maha-vidya. There are many expansion of Durga because she has to look after... Just like police department. Police department is there, but there are many officers in that police department. Similarly, Durga is the superintendent of police of this universe. Durga. Durga means the fort, durga. Ga means going, and dur means difficulty. So where you cannot go unless you accept so many difficulties, that is called durga, or fort.
(More...) So that fearful agent, Durga, is also fearful of Krsna. This is Krsna's position. Because she is servant. Srsti-sthiti-pralaya-sadhana-saktir eka chayeva yasya bhuvanani bibharti durga [Bs 5.44]. She is so powerful, Durga, that she can create one universe. Just like Krsna can create, Krsna also creates through her agent. As it is stated, na tasya karyam karanam ca vidyate [Svetasvatara Upanisad 6.8].
