DEVI DURGA

Devi, the Mother Goddess is the symbol of all the auspicious and true qualities which define the

Supreme Being. Of all her forms, Devi Durga is the ultimate representation of infinite power, purityand strength of purpose, which resides within the divine essence of every being. In Hindu symbology,negative qualities within the individual such as excessive ego, anger, attachment etc are presentedmetaphorically as demons. The narrative of Devi Durga's destruction of these demons epitomizes theinner spiritual struggle of the individual soul as it strives to conquer ignorance and having gained

victory realizes the Supreme power of one's own Self.... The Shlokas which accompany them havebeen taken from the Chandi Path, an ancient compilation of verses in praise of the resplendentMother.
