Durga as Mahishasuramardini (the Slayer of the Buffalo Demon)

Indian, Southern

early Chola period(970–1070)

Mahalaya came. Woke up at 3:50, mother did some rituals. And the Mahishasuramardini started playing.

"যা চণ্ডী মধুকৈটভাদিদৈত্যদলনী যা মাহিষোন্মূলিনী"

That same vibration passed all through my body. As I laid back to my bed, I could hear the soft sound of firecrackers being burned at a distant, while Birendra Krishna Bhadra's voice echoed in our house. Then came this part.

এদিকে কালান্তরে দুর্ধর্ষ দৈত্যরাজ মহিষাসুরের পরাক্রমে দেবতারা স্বর্গের অধিকার হারালেন। অসুরপতির অত্যাচারে দেবলোক বিষাদব্যথায় পরিগ্রহণ হয়ে গেল।

দেবগণ ব্রহ্মার শরণাপন্ন হলেন। ব্রহ্মার বরেই মহিষাসুর অপরাজেয়; তাঁর দ্বারা দৈত্যরাজের ক্ষয় সম্ভবপর নয় জেনে তাঁরই নির্দেশে অমরবৃন্দ কমলযোনি বিধাতাকে মুখপাত্র করে বৈকুণ্ঠে গিয়ে দেখলেন, হরি-হর আলাপনে রত।

Heartbeat started going faster, feeling every word while my imagination created the scenario happening at heaven. Every instance brought me closer to her arrival. Abhaya's arrival.

দেবী সজ্জিতা হলেন অপূর্ব রণচণ্ডী মূর্তিতে।

হিমাচল দিলেন সিংহবাহন,

বিষ্ণু দিলেন চক্র,

পিনাকপাণি শঙ্কর দিলেন শূল,

যম দিলেন তাঁর দণ্ড,

কালদেব সুতীক্ষ্ণ খড়্গ,

চন্দ্র অষ্টচন্দ্র শোভা চর্ম দিলেন,

ধনুর্বাণ দিলেন সূর্য,

বিশ্বকর্মা অভেদবর্ম,

ব্রহ্মা দিলেন অক্ষমালা-কমণ্ডলু,

কুবের রত্নহার।

সকল দেবতা মহাদেবীকে নানা অলঙ্কারে অলঙ্কৃত ও বিবিধপ্রহরণে সুসজ্জিত করে অসুরবিজয় যাত্রায় যেতে প্রার্থনা করলেন।

This part made me cry. I cannot really explain why but this part grew the anticipation, while tiny droplets of tears formed on the corner of my eyes. I imagined our Aparupa, her beauty, glowing the brightest in the dark, bringing light and peace in our lives.

বিশ্বপ্রকৃতি মহাদেবী দুর্গার চরণে চিরন্তনী ভৈরব ধ্যানরতা পূজারিণী ভৈরবীতে গীতাঞ্জলী প্রদান করে ধন্যা হলেন।

তাঁর গীতবাণী আজ অনিলে সুনীলে নবীন অরুণোদয়ে দিকে দিকে সঞ্চারিত।

Mahalaya doesn't only brings me the joy of "Pujo chole esche" but it also gives me the pain of "Abar 1 bochor er opekkha". We all wait for these 4 days, yet they pass by in a blink. Pain overpowers our whole body even before joy can be felt. Every second which passes by brings the same thought, she will go now, just few moments more. She leaves everyone in tears, but gives us the hope to live another year, just for her.

May all you people be happy and enjoy this pujo with pure bliss.

"Shakti, the mother power or divine energy, has many forms and symbols. All beauty and all ugliness flow from her. She is Lakshmi, the auspicious, bestower of boons and beauty. She is Saraswati, the giver of all wisdom and art. She is Tripurasundari, the most beauteous in the three worlds. But she is also Kaali, the destroyer, whose wrath ignites the storm, the thunder, and the lightning. She is Mahishasuramardini, killer of the demon Mahisha. She is Chandika, the terrible, who lets loose the typhoon, the flood, and the tidal wave."

Day Six of Navratri

9 days, 9 Godesses

Day Six: Maa Katyayani

Once there lived a sage called Katyayana who prayed to the goddess to be born as his child in order to kill Mahishasura. She agreed and was born as his daughter and thus was called Katyayani. When the gods invoked Mahashakti – the primordial feminine power to protect them from the demon, Mahisha, she emerged from the sacrificial fire of the sage Katyayan. All the male gods bestowed their special powers and weapons on her. She is the avatara of Parvati in the form of the warrior goddess and is one of the most well-known and beloved of her forms.

Riding a lion, she proceeded towards the Vindhya mountains where the demon lived and killed him. Hence, she is also known as Mahishasuramardini.

Pain Reliever Maa Durga Chalisa

Maa Durga is a Hindu goddess who is worshiped as the embodiment of divine feminine energy and power. She is known by many names, including Mahishasuramardini, which means the slayer of the demon Mahishasura.

According to Hindu mythology, Maa Durga was created by the gods to defeat the demon Mahishasura, who had become invincible due to a boon granted to him by Lord Brahma. Maa Durga is depicted as riding a lion, carrying weapons in her multiple arms and wearing a red saree. She is also known with various other forms like Kali, Bhagvati, Amba, Chandika and many more.

The festival of Durga Puja is celebrated every year in the month of October or November, depending on the lunar calendar. This festival is widely celebrated in India, especially in West Bengal, where it is considered the biggest festival of the year. During the festival, people decorate their homes with lights and flowers and set up pandals (temporary structures) where beautifully crafted idols of Maa Durga and her children are worshiped. The festival concludes with the immersion of the idols in a nearby river or lake, symbolizing the departure of Maa Durga and her children to their heavenly abode.

Maa Durga is believed to represent the triumph of good over evil, and her worship is said to bring prosperity, happiness, and good fortune. She is also considered the mother of the universe, and her devotees pray to her for guidance, protection, and blessings. The legend of Maa Durga and her victory over Mahishasura is a powerful reminder of the importance of courage, determination, and faith in overcoming obstacles and achieving success in life.

Maa Durga Chalisa

Maa Durga Chalisa is a devotional hymn dedicated to Goddess Durga, composed of forty verses (chaupai) in Hindi. The chalisa is recited by devotees to seek blessings and express their devotion to the goddess.

Each verse of the chalisa describes a different aspect of Maa Durga, her divine qualities and her accomplishments. The chalisa starts with an invocation to Maa Durga, asking for her blessings and protection. It then goes on to describe her form, beauty and strength. The verses also describe the various weapons and attributes of the goddess like her trident, sword and bow.

The chalisa narrates the story of Maa Durga's victory over the demon Mahishasura and how she destroyed various other demons who threatened the gods and the universe. The verses also describe the different forms of the goddess such as Kali, Bhavani and Ambika.

The chalisa concludes with a plea to Maa Durga to bless the devotee with her love and protection and to remove all obstacles and difficulties from their lives. The devotee also seeks forgiveness for any mistakes they may have made in their devotion to the goddess. 

Reciting the Maa Durga Chalisa with devotion and faith is believed to bring blessings and good fortune to the devotee. It is often chanted during the auspicious occasion of Navratri, a nine day festival dedicated to the worship of Maa Durga and her various forms.
