About This Cause
Shiv Durga Temple of Bay Area is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization. Shiv Durga Temple of Bay Area (Temple) has been in operation since 2012, serving the Bay Area Hindu community. Shiv Durga Temple is dedicated to Shiv and Shakti. Durga represents the Divine Mother. She is the energy aspect of the Lord. Without Durga, Shiva has no expression and without Shiva, Durga has no existence. Shiva is the soul of Durga; Durga is identical to Shiva. Lord Shiva is only the silent witness. He is motionless, absolutely changeless. He is not affected by the cosmic play. It is Durga who does everything. Shakti is the omnipotent power of the Lord or Cosmic Energy. The Divine Mother is represented as having ten different weapons in Her hands. She sits on a lion. She keeps up the play of the Lord through the three attributes of Nature, namely, Sattwa, Rajas, and Tamas. Knowledge, peace, lust, anger, greed, egoism, and pride, are all Her forms. Goddess Durga is a form of Sakti worshiped for her gracious as well as terrifying aspect. Mother of the Universe represents the infinite power of the universe and is a symbol of female dynamism. The manifestation of Goddess Durga is said to emerge from Her formless essence and the two are inseparable.
