with Meaning For Protection

11-14 minutes

Believed as the root cause of creation, sustenance and

annihilation, Durga is the principal form of theMother
Goddessin Hinduism. The name Durga in Sanskrit means
invincible. The syllable du is synonymous with the 4 devils
namely poverty, sufferings, famine and evil habits. The r refers
to diseases and the ga is the destroyer of sins, injustice,
irreligion, cruelty and laziness.

The Hindu Goddess Durga is a unified symbol of all divine

forces and is said to have manifested when evil forces
threatened the very existence of the Gods. To destroy these
demons, all Gods offered their radiance to her creation and
each formed different parts of Durgas body. She also obtained
very powerful weapons, such as the Chakra from Lord Vishnu
and the Trishul (trident) from Lord Shiva.

Goddess Durga, hence, rose to power and killed the dangerous

demon Mahish and all his great commanders.

The Demonic forces are self-destructive but very powerful while

the Divine forces are constructive but slow and efficient. When
the Demonic forces create imbalance, all the Gods unite to one
Divine force called Shakti or Durga or Mahishasurmardini, to
abolish all evil.

Goddess Durga has a unique portrayal

hands. These represent eight quadrants or ten directions in
Hinduism. This suggests that she protects the devotees from

the three eyed Goddess. The left eye represents desire (the
moon), the right eye represents action (the sun), and the central
eye knowledge (fire).

Maa Durgas Vehicle The Lion :

the lion symbolises the Goddess mastery over all these
qualities.Devi Durga is portrayed standing on a lion in a
fearless pose of Abhay Mudra signifying assurance of
freedom from fear.The universal Mother seems to be saying to
all her devotees : Surrender all actions and duties onto me and
I shall release thee from all fears.

Maa Durgas Many Weapons :

The conch shell in Durgas hand symbolizes the Pranava
or the mystic word Om, which indicates her holding on to
God in the form of sound.

bow and arrow in one hand, Mother Durga indicates her
control over both aspects of energy potential and kinetic.

thunderbolt in ones convictions. Similar to thunderbolt that
can break anything against which it strikes without being
affected itself, the devotee should to undertake a challenge
without losing his confidence.
The lotus in Durgas hand is not in full bloom which
symbolizes the certainty of success but not finality.
The Sudarshan-Chakra which spins around the index
finger of the Goddess signifies that the entire world is
subservient to the will of Durga and is at her command. She
uses this unfailing weapon to destroy evil and produce an
environment conducive to the growth of righteousness.
The sword that Durga holds in one of her hands symbolizes
knowledge, which has the sharpness of a sword.
Durgas trident or trishul is a symbol of three qualities
Satwa (inactivity), Rajas (activity) and Tamas (non-activity)
and that she is the remover of all the three types of
miseries physical, mental and spiritual.

Durga presents herself as the Mother of all the worlds taking

care of the welfare of all the beings and accounting for their
prosperity. To awaken the Goddess, the personification of the
active side of the divine shakti energy ofLord Shiva, several
Mantras are chanted throughout the year and specially during
