Guest guest Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Durga Navaratri is approaching, and my mind is more fully with Durga-Ma. I regularly offer Durga puja, and also chant Chandi Pathah; in both texts prayer is made to the Nine Durgas (in Chandi Pathah, this is in Devya Kavacham, 3rd through 5th shlokas). My question: My understanding is that the nine Durgas--from Goddess of Inspiration (Shailaputri) to the Goddess Who Grants Perfection (Siddhidaatri)-- are the divine processes of our Selves as we approach God through our prayer and sadhana. Is this true? Also, are the nine Durgas a cycle, through which we spiral through again and again on our eternal journey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
