Our humble obeisance's to Goddess Durga as flashed by me on f.b. on October 13,2010.

Bishwanath Singh :
Let us chant the Mahamantra given below on the eve of Navratra to have bliss of Goddess Durga!


Ya devi sarva bhutesu, shanti rupena sansitha

Ya devi sarva bhutesu, shakti rupena sansthita

Ya devi sarva bhutesu, matra rupena sansthita

Namastasyai, namastasyai, namastasyai, namo namaha!

...Sarva mangala maangalye shive sarvaartha saadhike

Sharanye trayambake Gauri

Narayani namosthute

Namoh devyai mahadevyai shivayai satatam namah

Namah prakrutyai bhadraayai niyataah pranataahsma taam

Annapoorne sadapoorne shankarah praanavallabhe

Njana vairaagya sidhyardham bhikshaam dehi cha parvati

Wednesday at 1:56am ·Bishwanath Singh:
 Goddess Durga is worshipped in many different forms. She is a form of ‘Shakti”( means Strength & Power). The evolution of Goddess Saraswati, Goddess Maha Laxmi and Goddess Mahakali -the three main forms of "Shakt” took place from Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Mahesh respectively. Each of these three deities gave... rise to three more forms and hence in all, these nine forms together are known as “Nav-Durga”. Today being the 13th of October 2010 is the sixth day of Navratra and on sixth day of Navaratra, the divine Shakti’s Katyayani is worshipped with gaiety. She has three eyes and four arms. One left hand holds a weapon and the other a lotus. The other two hands respectively display defending and granting gestures. Her skin appears golden in color. Her mount is a lion. Legend has it that Sage Katyayana cherished a keen desire to have Shakti born as his daughter. The Goddess acceded to his request. Meanwhile, army of the powerful demon Mahishasura, who could only be killed by a warrior Goddess, had reached heaven to overthrow the Gods from their abode. The trinity of Gods – Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, got infuriated and they created the Goddess Durga, who was a culmination of the powers of all deities. Sage Katyayana had the first privilege to worship her, so she was also named Katyayani. The another myth goes by that she was born to Katyayana as his daughter on the 14th dark of the month Asvina. Katyayana worshipped her for three days, 7th, 8th and 9th of the bright fortnight in the same month and killed Mahishasur on Vijayadasami. Her worship done with devotion and faith leads to four objects – Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.
