Guest guest Posted March 25, 2000 Report Share Posted March 25, 2000 OM VISHNAVE NAMAH Dear Zoran, Durga destroued the demon Mahisasura who had the capacity to change form and fool everybody. When all the Gods failed to kill him, they got together and gave their strength to Durga (this is typical of the nodes ans they borrow the nature and strengths of the planets they conjoin). Thereafter in a fierce battle Durga killed him and is called " Mahisasura Mardini " . It is for this particular form of Durga that Saturn is terribly scared of her. Durga is Shakti and Saturn represents the buffalo form of the asura (in fact the buffalo that yama rides is also ruled by Saturn). Thus, by worshipping Durga in this form, all troubles related to Saturn will surely vanish as no matter how powerful the evil, it is ultimately destroyed. The ten weapons that She takes from the Gods become the ten hands of the mother and also form the Dasakshari Mantra which is recited during Navratra. OM AIM HRIM KLEEM CHAMUNDAYAI VICHCHAI.
