Durgā is also a fierce form of the protective mother goddess, who unleashes her divine wrath against the wicked for the liberation of the oppressed, and entails destruction to empower creation. Many myths reveal how she has destroyed many demons including the deadly Asura Mahiṣāsura. The day of Durgā’s victory is celebrated as Vijayadaśami.

This is the Gāyatrī mantra of Goddess Durgā. Listen to it 6 times three times a day with a bhavanā of reducing your own inner battles and allowing your light to prosper.
