Dear Sir. I'm not too good with these comments and replies etc, (Couldn't even locate my initial comment to see an answer) hence my Gmail is [e-mail]. I sincerely desire your Sanskrit translation and English explanation and the respective meanings of the ten "slokas" that you had recited in this video. You have always stressed on your videos that the pronunciation and the meaning is vital when reciting your prayers. I have been reciting this everyday. I implore on your goodself to share the Sanskrit translation and meanings off this beautiful Post. I am sincerely obliged.

[@aklimi7651]

YES! This is so hugely misunderstood part of our worship!!! Shakti is the primordial energy with infinite forms, and i am still to this date confused about a lot of stuff regarding durga maata, and who is the male counterpart for maa durga, is it lord shiva? Or is there none? And why is maa lakshmi named shivapriya in her ashtalakshmi stotram/ashtottarashatanamavali? What is relation between saraswati and brahma. Things like that and so many more. Thanks for initiating with the most powerful of devi worship, the dasha maha vidyaas. Jai maa shakti!!! As someone who has experienced her presence just once in life, i cant ever forget it!!! And i will forever be immersed in these maha vidyas!!! Thank u so much!!!! Infinite blessinga of the dasha maha vidyas be upon you sir!!!

[@XNateXXDawgX]

Durga does not have a consort but you could say that she is a form of Parvati whose consort is Shiva. Shivaypriya is a name of Durga not Lakshmi. It is nowhere to be found in either of those chants. Saraswati is the consort of Brahma.

[@wooshsloosh4228]

While Gods can have Shaktis, many a times female Deities are independent and don't necessarily need a male counterpart or consort. Durga too can be worshipped independently. Durga has said that Shiva is Her Husband when talking back to Mahishasur's dootas. When it comes to Saraswati, some stories say that She isn't married to anyone while other stories say that Brahma and Her are married (as a formality I think) because while She's married to Him, she doesn't wear any ornaments or jewellery (in authentic images) and she wears a simple white saree as if She's a widow. She prefers education and learning over things like marriage etc. Regardless in both versions, she doesn't hold the marriage to much importance hence She's detached from the married life. Hope this clarifies your doubts!

[@aklimi7651]

@@wooshsloosh4228 it kind of does! Thanks! It really is a downer that there arent more information which clears such doubts without a doubt. I guess its upto us to do the research and reach the truth

[@wooshsloosh4228]

@@aklimi7651 yes that's true because mainstream information (Stories, mantras, depictions) are so incorrect because of so many reasons. It's very hard to properly understand but at the end of the day worshipping a deity you love or connect to the most is the best idea. They'll eventually guide you to the answers of questions that bother you! Research may be hard but the satisfaction of seeing a doubt being clarified is great! If you have any other doubts you can ask me if I know the answer I'll help you out! :)

A representation of what happens if you go away from.the divine or if you missuse divine energy? Why do people pray to her if she brings this sad things?
