Whom Does Goddess Durga Worship?

Goddess Durga is the Mother of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. She is the wife of God Brahm.

Whose Worship does Goddess Durga do?

In Shrimad Devi Bhagwat Purana, Lord Vishnu eulogises her mother - Goddess Durga - and says that he does not consider anyone superior to her. However, Goddess Durga while giving to knowledge to King Himalaya reveals that the only God worthy of worship is Brahm. She also describes that the mantra of worship of that Brahm is "Om" (ॐ). Goddess Durga clarifies that she does not consider any other god superior to Brahm. It is thus clear that Goddess Durga worships God Brahm (Kaal).

Knowledge to King Himalaya by Goddess Durga - Description of Brahm

1-4. Sri Devi said "O Himalayas! Thus making one's own self attached to the Yoga by the above-mentioned process and sitting on a Yoga posture, one should meditate on My Brahm Nature with an unfeigned devotion. He is manifest, near, yea, even moving in the hearts of all beings. He is the well-known Highest Goal. Know that all this whatever, waking, dreaming, or sleeping, which moves, breathes or blinks, is founded on Him. He is higher than Being and Non-being: higher than the Wisdom, He is the Best Object of adoration for all creatures. He is brilliant, smaller than the smallest and in Him the worlds are founded and the Rulers thereof. He is the Imperishable Brahm. He is the Creator (Life), the Revealer of Sacred Knowledge (speech) and Omniscient (or the Cosmic Mind). This is the Truth. He is immortal, O Saumya! Know that He is the target to be hit.

5-6. Take hold of the Mystic Name as the bow, and know that the Brahm is the aim to be hit. Put on this the great weapon (Om), the arrow (of the mind) sharpened by meditation. Withdraw thyself from all objects, and with the mind absorbed in the idea of Brahm, hit the aim; for know, O Saumya! That Imperishable alone to be the Mark. The Great name"Om" is the bow, the mind is the arrow, and the Brahm is said to be the mark. It is to be hit by a man whose thoughts are concentrated, for then he enters the target.

7. In Him are woven the heavens, and the interspaces, and mingle also with the senses. Know Him to be the one Support of all, the Atman. Leave off all other words (as well as the worship of other deities). This (Atman) is the refuge of the Immortals.

8-9. In Him the life-webs (nadis) are fastened, as the spokes to the nave of a chariot; He is this (Atman) that pervades the heart, and by his own free will manifests Himself in diverse ways and also as One as Prajna in the dreamless state. Meditate on the Atman as Om, in order to acquire the Brahm beyond the darkness of ignorance and beyond the ocean like universe. Your welfare consists in such knowledge.

10. He who is All-Wise, and All-Knowing, whose Greatness is thus manifested in the worlds, this Brahm resides in Brahmlok in the Divine Sky. He is the Controller of the mind and the Guide of the senses and the body. He abides in the dense body, controlling the heart. He, the Atman, when manifesting Himself as the Blissful and Immortal, is seen by the wise through the purity of the heart.

Conclusion:

It is clear from the excerpt in Shrimad Devi Bhagwat Purana that Goddess Durga worships God Brahm and does not consider anyone superior to Brahm. While giving this knowledge to King Himalaya, she also tells the mantra of worship of that Brahm to be Om / ॐ. This renders the knowledge of Lord Vishnu useless who considers Goddess Durga to be supreme. Please read whom does Lord Vishnu worship. This Brahm is the giver or knowledge of Bhagavad Gita. He himself talks about another Supreme God who in reality is the one who should be worshipped. Read Supreme God In Bhagavad Gita.
