Please Accept My Most Humble Obeisances & Dandavat Pranamas.All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, Sri Guru & Gauranga.All Glories to Sri Sri Radha Vinoda Bihariji.Hare KrishnaI have been reading Sri Radha Sahasra Nama Stotra.This is the dialogue between Srimati Parvati and Lord Shiva.Lord Shiva sais to Parvati in the 40th text:"Prakrtih sambhu-kanta caSadasiva-manoharaKsut pipasa daya nidraBhrantih srantih ksamakula""Sri Radha is the Goddess of the material nature, is the wife of Lord Siva, the attractive consort of Sadasiva, She is hunger, thirst, compassion, sleep, bewilderment, exhaustion, and forgiveness."Those qualities mentioned above are the qualities of Sri Durga.Sri Durga is the agent of Srimati Radhika, or is She also Durga as well?Please forgive me if I have committed some offenses in asking this question about our Spiritual Mother.Hari bol!!Your Eternal Servant,Bhakta David

pamho actually durga of this material world is an expansion of radharani . lord shiva is explaining that as krsna expands into many forms and shiva is a guna avatar of krsna in mood of ignorance, similary radharani also expands as durga mahamaya to control this material world . but she herself does not come in contact with this material creation just as krsna does not. his purusha avatras like mahavishnu, garbhodaka shayi vishnu are responsible for creation .similarly is the case with radharani.
devi krishnamayi prokta radhika para-devata sarva-lakshmi-svarupa sa krishnahlada-svarupini
The transcendental goddess Shri Radha is the direct counterpart of Lord Shri Krishna. She is the central figure for all the goddesses of fortune.* She is the pleasure-potency of Lord Krishna.
tatah sa procyate vipra hladiniti manishibhih tat-kala-koti-koty-amsha durgadyas tri-gunatmikah
The wise say that She is the pleasure potency of Lord Krishna. Durga and the other goddesses in the world of the three modes are a million-millionth part of one of Her expansions.
sa tu sakshan maha-lakshmih krishno narayanah prabhuh na tayor vidyate bhedah sv-alpo 'pi muni-sattama
She is directly Goddess Maha-Lakshmi and Lord Krishna is Lord Narayana. O best of sages, there is not the slightest difference between Them. She is Durga and Lord Hari is Shiva. Lord Krishna is Indra and She is Shaci. She is Savitri and Lord Hari is Brahma. She is Dhumorna and Lord Hari is Yama.
