The Ramakrishna Mission is an Indian monastic organization that propagates the teachings of the 19th-century mystic, Sri Ramakrishna, and his disciple, Swami Vivekananda. One of the prominent aspects of worship in the Ramakrishna Mission is the reverence for the Divine Mother, Sri Sri Durga. Sri Sri Durga is considered as a manifestation of the divine feminine energy, or Shakti, that pervades the entire universe. The Ramakrishna Mission celebrates the festival of Navaratri, a nine-day ritual in honor of Sri Sri Durga, with great fervor and devotion. During Navaratri, the mission offers special prayers, bhajans, and discourses, highlighting the virtues and significance of the Divine Mother. The worship of Sri Sri Durga in the Ramakrishna Mission expresses the idea of ultimate reality as a loving motherly force that nurtures and protects all beings, and inspires devotees to transcend the limitations of the ego and merge with the infinite consciousness.
