RadheRade1657 Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 I have a picture of an incarnation Durga Maa in my house... but She doesn't have the same iconography as Durga Mata herself. She wears a red sari, and has eight arms and all of that, but there are some major differences. I'll describe what She looks like: 1. She's sitting on a black, male goat 2. In Her left hands she's holding (starting from bottom to top): a trident, a small knife, a cup, and a bottle 3. Her right hands hold (bottom to top): an Aum symbol, a mace, a sword, and a discus 4. She has on a red sari, and Her skin is the regular color of Gauri Maa. 5. She has a flower sticking out of Her crown. Does anyone know the name of this incarnation of Durga Mata? If so, do you know any mantras to Her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indulekhadasi Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Maybe Ambika? Just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadheRade1657 Posted December 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Oh! I just found out which one She is! She's Meldi Ma... here's a picture (it's slightly different from mine): http://family.webshots.com/photo/1222375330059161731jyorKr Does anyone know any mantras to Her? Or why Durga Mata chose to appear in this form? Jai Mata Di! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baobabtree Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Namaste Celina. Meldi is quiet illusive in terms of information about her mythology and worship. I don't know her mantra, but there's a youtube user called aishreekhodiyaar. Google her up, and you should be able to find some videos she has of people singing bhajans to her. If you speak Gujarati you should be able to pick up on what they're singing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't speak Gujarati, but I still like listening to ppl sing the Divine Mother's praises. Om Namah Shivaya! Jai Mata Ji! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
