<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 3684325, member: 2844&quot;]I first posted Kali, but a bit of research into pathris led to Durga, so I changed it. But I am fine with Mother Goddess pathris being identified as Kali, when she is armed. The trishula (trident) is used by the Goddess in both her Kali and Durga manifestations.</p><p><br /></p><p>From a theological viewpoint either name applies, the variation depends on the specific tradition. (I studied theology, including Hinduism, way back when.)</p><p>According to some traditions Kali and Durga are different states of the same Mother Gosddess. When Durga needs to be very protective, she becomes Kali.</p><p>So in a nutshell, both names apply imo.</p><p><br /></p><p>I never said Hinduism was easy.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
