Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswathi
"The significance of Durga, Lakshmi and Sararwathi has to be rightly understood. They represent the three kinds of potencies in man. Lakshmi is manifested in the form of Ichcha Shakti (Will power), Saraswathi is manifested in man as Jnana shakki (the power of spreech), and Durga is present in the form of dynamism, Kriyaa Shakti (the power of action)” -Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
