We are all vulnerable in front of the power that is
beyond our control. Mahashakti, which generates all forms of knowledge of the
world and also believed as the vital cause of creation, existence and
destruction of the world, is called Supreme Power. Mahashakti, which is the
Supreme power, is called Durga. With the help of the ‘Adi Purusha’ three shapes
are created Brahma (creator), Vishnu (protector) and Shiva (destructor) and
with the assistance of the ‘Adyashakti’, three other shapes are created Maha
Saraswati, Maha Laxmi and Maha kali.
Durga Shakti is the original cause of all the
present or past worldly occurrences. She is creating and controlling other two
powers: Natural and General. Durga Shakti, the mother of the Universe, man is
able to get his emancipation or deliverance and cosset in enjoyments in
performance of his daily activities.
Shiva Purana gives an account of the origin of
Durga. At the beginning of time, Lord Shiva invoked Durga, the primordial
energy from his left half to create. Together they created their eternal abode,
Shivaloka, also known as Kashi. Thereafter, they created Vishnu and Brahma.
When Mahishasura, the demon defeated gods and
banished them from heaven. Vanquished gods, headed by Brahma and Vishnu sought
Lord Shiva's help. As they narrated their woeful tale, immense mass of light
manifested from Lord Shiva's left half, which was joined by similar rays that
emerged from the enraged faces of gods. This mass of light transformed into a
woman with ten arms. Adishakti re-manifested as Durga to slay Mahishasura.
Armed with celestial weapons of all deities and decked with divine ornaments,
Durga rode into the battle field and challenged demons for battle and killed
Mahishasura.
