MYTHOLOGY

Mahishasura, who was better known as the King of Asuras, after years of hard penance, received a boon from Lord Brahma. Lord Brahma, impressed by the devotion of Mahishasura, blessed him that neither man nor god could kill him. His death was possible only in the hands of a woman. After receiving the boon from Lord Brahma, Mahishasura wished to rule over the world. Soon he assumed complete control over the entire world. His army of Asuras killed many people ruthlessly. Many homes were destroyed. Heaven was also not a safe place anymore. The gods and goddess were driven away from heaven. No one dared to fight against Mahishasura and his mighty army. Complete confusion and nihilism reigned. All the mortal souls on earth prayed,hoping for a silverlining to appear among the dense dark clouds that reigned over their lives. All the gods, helpless and scared, went to Lord Brahma, hoping that he would be able to bring an end to the high-handedness of Mahishasura. So, in order to bring an end to this tyranny, Lord Brahma, LORD Shiva, Lord Vishnu combined their powers to create a feminine form, whose powerful glare illuminated the heaven. Finally a woman emerged. She had ten arms and was riding a lion. She was extremely beautiful. No one had ever seen such a magnificent woman, who at the same time also wore a menacing look. Devi Durga had come to earth finally. She was born to kill. Soon after her birth, all the gods gave her various gifts- weapons which had devine power. When she was fully prepared fight against Mahishasura, she set out, seated devinely on her lion.
