Worship of Shakti

Most of the Gaudiis, devotees do not give due respect to shakti, Durga. But I would like to remind all the devotees of what Sriman Mahaprabhu taught us - amanena manadena kirtaniyah of the harih garden. One should give respect to everyone, because humility will bring bhakti, mercy. Everyone has to ask for blessings for development in the heart of bhakti. You cannot ignore Devi Durga in our sadhana. Therefore, today we will listen to you about the connection between Vaishnavism and Shakti. Why is it important to honor Durga Devi? Is it just because she is Parami Vaishnavi? Is it just for this? Not.
Dayal Sriman Nitaichand always carried Tripura-Sundari-yantra with him. Is always. He used to put this yantra in his hair. And still this Tripura-Sundari-Yantre is worshiped in the Kardaha-Shyamsundar temple. And more than that. Every year, if you go to Shyamsundara temple, you can see that the Nityananda family, if you go to Shantipur, you can be sure that Durgotsav with deities, with the deities of Ma Durga. So for Vaishnavas there really is no prohibition to worship mother Durga. If Nitaichand carries Tripura-sundari-yantra with him, it means that we take shakti. He used to say: I have love as a daughter for Tripura-Sundari, and therefore I wear it.
