The
Mythology - Durga
|
|
Durga Puja, the festival of Bengalis is the worship of 'Shakti' or the divine power. Most of the religious celebrations in the world have legends surrounding them. The fables are generally the fight between the evil and the good, the dark forces eventually succumbing to the divine. |
|
| Worship of Goddess Durga is based on myths where Durga symbolizes the divine power. | ||

ACCORDING TO THE INDIAN MYTHOLOGY Mahishasura,
the king of Asuras, through years of austerities, was once granted
a boon by Lord Bramha, that no man or deity would be able to kill
him. The immense power filled in him the urge to rule over the world.
He started to terrorize heaven and the inhabitants. He pervaded
the world with his battalion of Asuras and plundered and ruthlessly
killed the people. Chaos and anarchy reigned. Gods were driven from
heaven and Mahishasura usurped the throne.The
Gods scared and unable to combat him, requested Lord Shiva, Lord
Bramha, Lord Vishnu to stop Mahishasura's

summoned up a feminine form so brilliantly glaring that it illuminated the heavens. This combined power fell on the residence of Sage Kattyana in the krishna chaturdashi (fourteenth day of new moon) in the month of Ashwin (September-October). From the glow emerged Devi Durga, a beautiful yellow woman with ten arms riding a lion. |
Despite her grace she bore a menacing expression, for Durga was born to kill. Fully grown and armed by the gods, beautiful Durga was named "Kattyani" as she is born in the ashram of sage Kattyana. The sage worshipped her for sukla saptami, asthami and nabami tithi then on the tithi of Dashami she killed Masishasura.
