Naini Mata is how she is addressed as in Naintal town. Higher up in the mountains, she is known with her sister as the goddesses Nanda and Sunanda. Those from Haidakhan call her Haidkandeshwari, others in Tibet as Tara.. She is Ma Durga. She is mother earth and the majestic snow clad peaks of Nanda Devi and Sunanda Devi as daughters of the Himalayas. Hers is the divine love that flows through every mother, human or animal or god for her child and makes life possible. Therefore she is known as Mother Mary by the Christians, revered as the sisters Tar and Tarini by the Buddhists, she is the Begum, Siti Khadeja as know to the Muslims, may peace be upon her. She is the female side of the Eternal Almighty. May the Mother be praised and loved especially in the nine nights of the goddess- the Nav Ratri - that begin today.
