Bishwa Nath Singh:

Goddess Durga is worshipped in different forms. She is a form of "Shakti". The evolution of Shri Maha Saraswati, Shri Maha Laxmi and Shri Mahakali (the three main forms of "Shakti") took place from Shri Brahma, Shri Vishnu and Shri Mahesh r...espectively. Each of these three deities gave rise to three more forms and hence in all, these nine forms together are known as Nav-Durga ... The fifth..name of Durga is "Skanda Mata". The daughter of Himalaya, after observing penance got married with Shiva. She had a son named "Skanda."Let us join to offer our salutations to Her lotus feet on the eve of the fifth day of Navratri and seek Her bliss for well-being of all living creatures of this universe spread round the globe!
