I can create I can grow I can feed  I can meet you like Annapurna If you come to me needy as a child I can teach I can guide I can lead  I can meet you like  Saraswati If you come to me eager like a student I can work I can sustain I can prosper I can meet you like  Laxmi If you come to me fair like a friend I can protect I can save  I can secure I can meet you like Durga If you come to me lovingly like a family I can stop I can fight I can destroy I can meet you like Kaali If you come to me cruel like a Demon I was I am  and I always will be I will always will be Goddess  Which form do you want to see?
