Navadurga: The 9 Divine Forms of Maa Durga
NavaDurga symbolizes nine forms of adi-shakti – Goddess Durga. During Navratri, we awaken the energy aspect of Godhead in the personification of the universal mother Goddess Durga, which precisely betokens the remover of grief in life. She is commonly famous with the name “NavaDurga”, “Devi” (goddess), or “Shakti” (energy or power). So, Navratri’s nine nights were considered to be very auspicious to worship the nine planets and nine divinities.
Names of 9 forms of Maa Durga are Shailputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kalaratri, Mahagauri, and Siddhidhatri.
