- The Hindu goddess Durga also known as Maa Durga, Durgatinashini and even Devi, is probably the most popular female form of the supreme being from Hindu Mythology/Religion. Durga is highly venerated by Hindus as she also bears the name of Shakti, the female principle of divine energy. In the traits of Parvati and Sati, Durga is the consort of Lord Shiva and one can't be without the other, Shakti is shiva and Shiva is shakti representing the twofold of Brahman.
In ancient Hindus texts, the goddess Durga is often depicted as a beautiful gold-skinned woman with many arms holding each a weapon given to her by different gods. the goddess Durga rides upon a lion or a tiger, symbolizing her domination over courage and determination as she is fearless and bestow fearlessness upon her devotees.
In Hindu Mythology, Gods and goddesses are believed to appear on Earth in the guise of many other deities, and Durga is not different. She is known as Mahishasura Mardini, the slayers of the buffalo demon Mahishasura. She is Kali, the black goddess of destruction, and in the trait of Ganga, Maa Durga blesses anyone who bathe in her Ganges.
Another classification of the goddess is in the form of Navadurga, which is a collection of nine female deities known among women devotees, and comes with a festival known as the Navaratri which is celebrated for nine days across India. However, the most popular festival associated with Durga is the Durga Puja festival.
Durga appear in many stories in the Mahabarata and puranas, but her most popular story is the slaying of the demon king Mahishasura. she is the mother of prosperity and arts, for her daughters are Lakshmi and Saraswati, the goddesses of wealth and knowledge respectively.

GREAT VIDEO AND CONTENT AWESOME
''Without Shakti, Shiva is incomplete''
- Lord Shiva
Almost made me cry to see the Dasha Mahavidyas, such little content on them...
And, I have a special love for one of the members, Dhumavati...
I have met her, seen her, in my inauspicious home...and even been blessed by her with Siddhis.
(she loves inauspicious, repelled by the auspicious, because there are good things about being poor, mostly spiritual hahahaha 😆)
🙏🏻
Om Dhumavatyai cha vidhmahe
samhaarinyai cha dheemahi
tanno dhuma prachodyat
Amangala kalahapriyai
shurpa haste Dhumavati
dhumravarna bahuroope
kakadhwaja rathacharini
Vridda virupayai Devi
kutila dhuma hastayai
Jai Jai Dhumavati 🙏🏻
May I please know some of your experiences with her? 🙏👁️
@@abhishekghosh4384 At first...She would appear in my room and just look at me and teleport around and speak telepathically which takes getting used to, btw..
But she would guide me on things to do and train me.
During 2 lunar events last year, she had me do some stuff...the clouds changed in real time, her face and body appeared as clouds and the moon was her eye.
Then, same event, made a an ankh symbol for life and enlightenment out of Moonlight and Cloud and then a labyrinth symbol for protection against bad spirits and demons out of Moonlight and Cloud...and I was surrounded by these type of night time yogini, in their energy forms, very beautiful and peaceful.
Reminded me of jelly fish or large single cells made from code and energy.
You know, stuff like that... just every day normal stuff like that. 😜
I'm poor as fuck and not very auspicious, which are things she likes.
And she likes me because I don't discriminate against her and see her as being her best self...she is my friend.
In other words, I try to treat all gods as valid and just as worthy of love and worship as any other and auspicious gods aren't better than inauspicious ones... and being poor has uses benefits, which is why Aesthetics in Hinduism, and orher religions, exist.
@@Alienami your experiences are totally genuine, only people who have did sadhana of Ma Dhumavati in their previous lives get these kind of visions. I am a member of a meditation group based on Shakti. All of it's free. Would you please like to join us?
@@Alienami
Maa, bless me too, please
I’m a huge fan of Egyptian, Nordic, Hindu and Buddhist gods and deities. Out of the years of reading and research I have found your channel to be the most informative, condensed and easily accessible out of all. The information is direct, easy listening, straight to the point and the art work is wonderful! I can thank you enough….I could listen over and over and helps solidify my knowledge. I am sure they all Thankyou greatly 🏴🪲🏴✡️🕉☯️⚛️
Thank you a lot... I truly appreciate it.
It is neither mythology nor fiction. It is true story.
Really. Thanks because most Hindu friends say its mythical.
@@Arwar555 there is this thing that many of these gods were actual people and the stories we have of them are true to some extent , except for the magical elements .
and after their death their followers gave them the divine status
like krishna being an actual king called vasudev ,
Ram also being an actual king
(these are historic figures given divine status , and there seems to be evidence suggesting this
and Shiva being as old as harrappan civilization itself , so parvati having existed as someone real is a possibility
etc.. etc..
same thing with mahabharat , in mahabharat it's written that this mahabharat war is "ithihass"
itihaas doesn't translate to history ,this a a common myth . , itihaas actually means history told thru stories with mystical elements and sometimes not ,
the objective was always to teach lessons they these stories to the next generation ,and look at Geeta or mahabharat as a whole , it still teaches life lessons about human nature ,moral dilemmas etc.. mahabharat, Gita- are not books to tell them about preaching religion ,
@@Arwar555 I know plenty Hindus and none of them say it's mythical. Imagine if I said Allah is a mythical being?
Its all. As above so below. Its true and can be used as mythology for other aspects of ur life
@@bababistril
What you have said is logical. I actually these "Gods" were great people of the past who saved their people from huge calamities and have over the millennia given divine status.
I love mother DURGA.
Really good video on Durga, actually may be the best, very comprehensive, missed some stuff other videos got if I recall, but yeah, you rehashed what took me much longer to research myself... Definitely a video to share.
You need another to cover the Navadurga and all about them... And how it's Durga who moves the planets and such, and Kushmanda who makes the sun shine from the Fire Loka (like Horus is to Ra), etc...
Thanks.. I truly appreciate it
Which country are you from?
Been waiting for a video on Durga, this was awesome!
Hopefully it was worth the wait...
Oh quick I’m sorry I did that last night but you still need me some one too but I’m just wondering how much you do need to me take care and I’ll tell her I don’t know how much you want me to come get back in the marina I don’t know what you mean do you want me to come to get here and I want you to know I’m sorry not I’m just trying to be honest with you but I’m not sure what I’m going to do but you need me too late for my appointment to u love yousorry not I’m just trying
Not
oh coo
@13:37 such a lovely picture 💖💖💖✨✨✨🌌🌌🌌🌠
@15:26 ooh my Lord it's just so wonderful and not just the visualization but like the celebration not only of victory over demons but celebration of the divine feminine... It's wonderful
Every city town and village in India has their own gram Devi the incornation of Mahashakti They celebrate their gramadevi Worships individually generally in summer months called Jatras
Maa Durga is presiding deity of our tribe and being from a Martial race from East India she is worshipped in every household of our tribe .
🎶💖🤗Jai Ma! Shree Devi Durga Ma! Durge Jai Jai Ma! 🌹🥥🔥🙌🏽💃🏽🔱🦁📿🌸🐯
Jai Shree Durga 🙏🏻🙏🏻🕉
Beautiful and informative. Thank you for sharing. I've learned many things from this video that help me out.
Durgatinashini 🤍🤍🤍🤍
@6:06 I love this illustration I love most of them and I love Kali as well .. her illustrations alittle more scary...Mahishasura Mardini💖💖💖💖 I absolutely love this whole thing I have a dura chain and love India for it's perception of feminine power I recognized it right away. Even in movies it hits different
Thanks for the video & information 👍🏻
Amazing research of "Maa Durga"(mother Durga) 😍
Awesome vid
This was quite clear and concise. Well done!
u have given to much knowledge ,we love it.
She's my favorite goddess and so is Kali
complex .... :) 🔱
" Shakthi illayen Shivam illai....Shivam illayen Shakthi illai "
🙏🙏🙏🙏
In olden times these were the ways to convey extremely difficult and complicated concepts to common folks. As one says pictures speak volumes than words. So a picture of Maa Durga representing the cosmic energy strikes a chord immediately. Volumes of research papers or thesis cannot convey the information as quickly as a picture of Maa Durga clad in red, holding the most powerful weapons of those times ans riding the lion could convey. Jai Maa Durga.
Jai Mata di
Och Durga wonderful 🙏🏻🙏🏻i know a lot about her but you can't never know enough about her. Thank you dear A.E👍😁❤🖤
Joy Ma ❤
Jai dakshineshver
Awesome goddess
I definitely channel her when necessary
Thank you ✨💞✨
Lord SadaShiv or Forever Shiv is the Dark Space or Empty Space in which all the Universes lies. Lord AdiShakti or Endless Energy is the source of everything & is everything visible inside the Dark Space. Shiv is the Dark Matter, & Shiv & Vishnu & Brahma get their power from the incarnations of AdiShakti as their better halves. Shiv & SadaShiv are different, Sadashiv is formless & shapeless, & AdiShakti is the source of every visible thing in the universe.
The world and mankind is doomed to end shortly. Yet humanity will live on with protectors like her. Humanity is not mankind.
Excellent content. Please get someone to edit out the small errors.
Years ago in a meditation, I do zen breathing with focus on objects, I asked a question and got the word Druga, well this is what i believe i saw. Recently i have asked the same question several times, and several times i get the word Niyati. I dont know much about hinduism. And Niyati brought me here because i seen the Goddess Durga. Since i was a child i seen things. Things others dont see, and they are not spirits or souls. Can anyone tell me and lead me where i need to start reading and studying?
I'm impressed by her. She is my Shiva's Lover.
She is Shiva's energy. Dont conflate human emotions with divine
@@Vlog-hu8gb she is Shiva herself .
Parvati is Lord Shiva wife so don't try to make the Gods look like the monotheistic God. They absolutely do have emotions @Vlog-hu8gb
@@sahildhillon4870according to Tantra
I find it sad that the majority of the major religions and faiths are masculine based...written by the masculine only gives that aspect of energy..... ultimately the feminine energy is as important and one can not be without the other. The feminine is actually more powerful but hardly known of in that way by mankind. 😮We need the feminine mindset, energy to take us all out of ignorance, darkness for a better world and person.
I have felt the power of durga spirit save me from a negative force once.... my god....did I roar like a lion....the power of that roar from within me actually freaked me out.... it was only when I investigated I realised that her spirit had entered my body and saved my soul.... ❤
Hindu so called mythology is not mythology at all... there is truth about mankind and the souls journey in all stories...you may relate to them deeply one day too
When I began studying Hindi culture and religion I became targeted by demons. I know this religion is on to something, and it’s not a myth.
Gratitude 😊
❤🙏🏼
9:55 that is a dope picture. Now i want to see that dance.

And the truth is there is a God. One whom was before all others.
Nice fiction, Although i wantes ro jere more of her wqr stories bc it sounds like a nice fictional anime
💞💋
Durga is the Hindu equivalent of Rhea or Cybele of the Greeks, mother of Zeus.
She is Innana
@@hoslabara2703 true...she was my grandma
Why you use was??? She is alive.... I love 🥰🥰🥰🥰 durga maa.... ❤❤❤
@@Ken-gc5us please ✅ correct the ❤ sentence❤❤❤
@@OperaMini-wn2wm yes she is alive at this moment, but at that time, in the past, she was my grandma.
I'm proud kali maar comes to our home she has helped us a lot.
Long Live the Ancient Dreams!
She is Mesopotemian Ishtar/Innana
Canaanite Asherah
See people I have too many names to say. But please let's not make me angry anymore. I am already at peace with myself.
Trinity many goddesses
Shiva does not have multiple sets of arms yet she does.
Because lord Shiva's main weapon is trident which represents the three qualities Rajas , Tamas and satva and past present future which means he is above them and the snake around lord Shiva neck represents that he is the controller of death . That's why lord Shiva portrait with two arms where as his wife goddess Durga represents with eight arms in which she holds different weapons like trident which represents the three qualities Rajas Tamas and satva and the lotus in her hand represents purity and the arrows represents as the will power of human which can make him powerful etc....
Shiva is a placeholder, but he became vesta and im guessing has a way to delete shiva to eliminate or handicap devi?
I’m here because I looked up the meaning of my babe “ Arnika” 😅
My baby's name also lead me here her name is Annika
Not myth or friction. Correct your caption!
The correct pronunciations definitely could have been better researched prior to the narration of the video. Otherwise, it's a good introduction for those who are unfamiliar and want to learn more.

Sati and Parvati are same.

Is it so hard to find someone to read this?... storytelling is a sacred tradition and a soul-less voice expressing this feels dishonorable.

Namaste guys 🙏 i would request you to please Not call any of the Indian-Hindu Gods & Goddess as mythology… They ALL are Manifestations of the Supreme Divine 🙏. Please study in detail before making such comments 🙏
Happy Navratri to all,
Navratri a 9 days festival related to 9 forms of Goddess Durga.
🙏 please stop using the word “mythology” also please under before writing and making such posts 🙏. Just think what you say … you say that the Supreme Divine Being is mythology!!! 🤣 bhai kabhi apne aap ko suna kar 🏹🏹🏹
😂😂😂😂😂
She is white.
She is golden, and is of colur whichever you like.
She has two forms, one is called "Gauri" which means white woman another one is called "Kali" which means black woman.
U r wrong its the other way around withoit Shakti Shiva would not exist .
Green represents black. Blue represent the lowest rank as we do it for all including the lowest of us.
In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful..
The Creator is Allaah Exalted and Most High ☝️🕋 as is well known. To whom belongs the Kingdom of the Seven Heaven's and Earth 🌎 and all in Between. Everything comes as his Creation so Worship is only for him for which we are Created too. Idol Diety and Statue Worship or Norse,Sumerian,Aztek,Avatars and Greek Gods or Goddesses are no more than Untrue Myths that have no right to be Worshipped and so why all False Dietys are forbidden by the Prophet Ibraheem until the last day.. God's Grace and Mercy comes free so nobody needs to go through any Idols. Prophet Ibraheem was the Father of the Prophet's and all The Prophet's were Paternal Brothers so no exemption can be made, even with the Final and Seal of the Messengers. Prophet Muhammad. Peace be upon them all and families.
Yes aliens are real
I must pay respect where it is due. I only worship our heavenly father God. I do respect her tho.
You have to define who you are talking about more than that... If you mean the creator of all, they aren't male.
If you dig even into the roots of Christianity, which you seem to be on, you get into Gnostic gospels...
And there it says the creator of the creator was female, named Sophia, which is Greek for Wisdom, as is what female form means in Hinduism and Buddhism... And the Demiurge was who made the material world... And then if you dig back more the oldest Bible is in Egypt, Nag Hammadi library... Showing the edits made to the Bible even before the Dead Sea Scrolls were penned and the Bible we know and hate was made by the Roman government, which burned and banned anything they didn't like and then committed wholesale crimes against humanity killing anyone who disagreed, another series of facts, as a weapon to control the masses, bonus fact...
And, after you have researched Egyptian and Hinduism beliefs, you can see them in the teachings of Jesus, who was a tantric yogi Sage who manifested Siddhis and Riddhis, magical powers of Hinduism (and Buddhism and others) in all awakened beings, specifically mentioned walking on water and matter duplication and matter transmutation, etc...
Fun fact... The Star of David (and its other names) existed first in Hinduism... The world's oldest religion, another fact...blamo.
Also, the demiurge is directly comparable to Brahma in Hinduism, especially before he had his 5th head cut off to make him balanced... 😆
And another fun fact, the Bible specifically mentions India by a different name and its teachings... And you can clearly see the teachings of Egypt and India in Greece, but poorly understood... Haha because "WESTERN CIVILIZATION IS THE SMARTEST BIGGEST BRAINS EVER" LMAO... 💩💩💩🤡🤡🤡
They have the Linga, Ganesh on coins, all sorts of plagiarized stuff...
So yeahhhhhhh.... You're worshiping a knock off and a poorly understood one... Sorry, not sorry...

@@Alienami you asked the right question. 👍
_Define abrahmic god ?_
Yet it took her 10 days to kill an evil and had to borrow the weapons from the other Gods. Amazing situation, she was called upon to kill an Asur (Demon) but came without any weapon.
Mother Parvati incarnated as Durga and was “gifted” weapons by Gods. It means she is the creator and the creation. All the Gods n Celestial being gave her gifts.
She didn’t go to fight the Asura without weapons.
@@r.b.8018 "Mother Parvati incarnated as Durga and was “gifted” weapons by Gods. It means she is the creator and the creation"-I don't get it, how does it mean she is the creator from this context?
I want to correct you on your last sentence. I did not say she went to battle without weapons, I said she appeared without any weapon, and then other gods "gifted" their weapons to her. She knew why she was called on.
@@godsmagic9656 those gifting of weapons represent God need help of good people to bring happiness in the world
@@krushnaji4940 Sure sure lol. 🤣It's getting funier. I need more meanings. lol
@@godsmagic9656 my friend I don't believe in God but making fun of anyone civilization is not a good thing
if you say "religion or dharma" you should rethink your choice to make videos on Hinduism. It's my and many's ways of living. don't disrespect it with nonsense. Also, Hinduism doesn't believe in a female creator. Shakti is the energy that lies in everything and nothing in this universe. And let's not go at all into the innumerous philosophical inaccuracy.
Ok the story is Mahish was a Bengali king standing against Aryan invasion. Finally, Durga suceeded to defeat him. The winner writes history. So, over praise of Durga turned her into a goddess and on the contrary, Mahish became asur (demon). And the natives became the lowest caste of impurity and untouchable. Makes sense.

God's skin is white. Blue is the lowest rank. There are seven ranks.
Must be in Christianity.
In Hinduism all colors are given equal respect.
But Blue and Black could be attributed to the More Powerful Gods/ Goddesses
Blue is the lowest rank ? Shiva and Krishna, two of the most powerful Gods are blue in colour. Where do you get your facts ?
you have no right to judge gods
specially comparing them to other religions
it might be that way for you but here it isn’t
