Rajasthan News Desk !!! Maa Durga is known by the names Adi Shakti, Bhavani and many others. According to mythology, the mother was born to destroy demons. Although the mother is worshiped throughout the year, special worship and remedies are done during Navratri. It is said that during Navratri, Mata Rani comes to earth and stays among the devotees for nine days. That is why devotees perform Aarti, Puja and recite Durga Saptashati with rituals to please the mother. Today we will tell you how Maa Durga was born.
Once all the gods got fed up of the atrocities of the demons. Then Brahmaji told them that the demon king has been blessed with the boon that he will die at the hands of a virgin girl. Then all the gods thought of a plan. Both of them together manifested a goddess with their respective powers. The various parts of the goddess were made from the energy released from the bodies of various gods. The goddess’ face was formed from the radiance of Lord Shankar, head and hair from the radiance of Yamraj, arms from the radiance of Vishnu, breasts from the radiance of the moon, waist from the radiance of Indra, thighs appeared. Buttocks from the radiance of Varun, feet of Brahma from the radiance of the earth, fingers of both feet from the radiance of the sun, all the teeth from the radiance of Prajapati, both eyes from the radiance of Prajapati, Agni from the radiance of Prajapati, eyebrows from the radiance of Sandhya, ears from the radiance of Vayu and various goddesses were formed from the radiance of other gods.
Then Shiva gave his trident to that great power, lotus flower to Lakshmi ji, chakra to Vishnu ji, quiver full of power and arrows to Agni, garland of crystal beads to Prajapati, divine conch to Varuna, mace to Hanuman ji, pearl-adorned serpent to Sheshnag, Indra thunderbolt, Lord Ram bow, Varuna bow and arrow, Brahma all four Vedas and Himalaya mountain provided lion for riding. Apart from this, the ocean brought a very bright necklace, divine clothes which never tore, Chudamani, two earrings, bracelets for hands, anklets and rings for feet. All these items were worn by the goddess in her eighteen arms. Maa Durga is the Adishakti of this world. Grandfather Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shankar create, maintain and destroy the universe with their power. Other gods also perform all the tasks empowered by their power. Seeing this brilliance of the mother, the demon king got very scared but the goddess killed him with her lion and weapons. From then onwards the Mother came to be known as Mother Durga.
