Mother of the Universe

Libra

Durga, in Sanskrit means "She who is incomprehensible or difficult to reach."
Goddess Durga is a form of Sakti worshiped for her gracious as well as terrifying aspect. As Mother of the Universe, I represent the infinite power of the universe and is a symbol of a female dynamism. I manifest in formless essence.
I am called by many other names, such as Parvati, Ambika, and Kali. In the form of Parvati, I am the divine spouse of Lord Shiva and is the mother of two sons, Ganesha and Karttikeya, and daughter Jyoti. Destroyer of demons, she is worshiped during an annual festival called Durga puja, especially popular among Bengalis.
There are endless aspects of Myself described in the Puranas and Agamas and my iconography is consequently very varied. I am usually pictured as having ten arms holding Sword, Conch, Discus, Rosary, Bell, Winecup, Shielf, Bow, Arrow, and Spear. The various tools reflects the eminent supremacy that help in controling the universe and obey my will. Most often shown riding a lion from which becomes her august name, Simhavahini, "She who stands astride the king of beasts".
I am gorgeously dressed in royal red cloth and have several ornaments decorating my personage. My hair is dressed up in a crown (karandamukuta) which then flows out in long luxuriant tresses that are darkly luminous and soothing to the eye.
I, Goddess Durga killed the powerful demon Mahish and all his great commanders.
When demonic forces create imbalance all god unite becoming one divine force called Shakti or Durga.

Energy
I, Goddess Durga exists eternally, always abiding in my own sweet nature and inhabit the hearts and minds of my ecstatic devotees. As Shakti power, I shape, nurture, and dissolve names and forms, while as subtle spiritual energy called Kundalini, I light the lotuses of the seven centres of awareness in the sacred human body.
Goddess Durga represents destruction of evil, protection of good and reflects the point that in order to become divine one should keep one's animal instincts under control. Thus, by worshiping Durga the idea of ruthless destruction is invoked to annihilate all the desires and unfold divinity.
