The Supreme power and the
mother of all Gods and Goddesses, Maa Durga is the ultimate primordial being
and the demon slayer. This Devi with lush black hair, beautiful eyes and ten
hands dawned on earth to establish the supremacy of goodness over evil. In a
battle fought over a span of ten days, Maa Durga wins the ceaseless battle
between Gods and demons. Durga pujo is a way to celebrate this eternal manifestation
of truth and purity. Devi Durga, the daughter of Himalaya, is an epitomy of
graceful beauty, motherliness, and the strong and valor warrior.
The legend of Maa Durga has several renditions and so does the story behind
Durga Puja. According to the most prevalent tale, the male gods of heaven
created Devi Durga, the wrathful goddess, an incarnation of Ma Sati (Lord
Shiva’s wife). A powerful demon named, Mahishasur (born out of the union of
Rambha, the demon king and a water buffalo), who could easily change his form
from human to buffalo dethroned Indra, the king of Heavens. This demon was
bestowed by a unique boon from Brahmadev, whereby neither Man nor God could
defeat him. Utter chaos and dismay prevailed through the entire heaven. All the
Gods were shunned out of their golden seats. Defeated and disheartened the Gods
request the Trinity (Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh) to save them from annihilation.
The Trinity then comes together and creates a radiantly beautiful woman, Durga.
A manifestation of the Supreme Power Adishakti herself, Devi Durga is the
embodiment of the three flowing channels of primordial energy (and the
subsequent kundalini powers) – Maha Lakshmi (Central Energy Channe), Maha
Saraswati (Right Energy Channel) and Maha Kali (Left Energy Channel). These
energies mould together to generate the ultimate source of energy as Ma Durga.
All other gods bestow their
powers and energies on this beautiful, gracious and eloquent lady. King
Himalaya adopts the Devi as his daughter and presents her with the magnificent
White Lion that becomes her carrier. Armed with weapons in ten hands and
mounted on the lion, Mother Durga descends on earth and there ensues a fierce
battle between the Devi and demon Mahishasur. This ferocious battle continues
for a span of ten days. Finally on the tenth day, Devi Durga kills Mahishahur
with her trident (and hence the day is known as Vijay Dashami).
