Durga is the Hindu goddess with boundless energy. The fiercer, demon-fighting form of Shiva’s wife, the goddess Parvati. This Maa Durga Statue manifests fearlessness and steadiness, and never loses her sense of humor, even during spiritual struggles of epic proportion.

Maa Durga Statue symbolizes the spiritual forces (positive energy) known as divine shakti (feminine energy/ power) that is used against the negative forces of evil and immorality. She guards her devotees against evil powers and safeguards them. It is believed that Durga Maa Sherawali is the united form of powers of Goddesses Lakshmi, Kali, and Saraswati.

It is also considered that Goddess Durga was formed by Lord Vishnu as a warrior goddess to shield good people (devas) from battling the demon, Mahishasur. Her divine shakti includes the blended powers of all the gods in the form of weapons and arms(mudras).

Maa Durga Murti symbolizes the power of the supreme being that protects moral order and holiness in creation. The Sanskrit word Durga means a fort or a place that is preserved and thus difficult to reach. Durga, also called Divine Shakti, protects humanity from evil and misery by destroying evil forces (negative energy and vices—arrogance, jealousy, prejudice, hatred, anger, greed, and selfishness).

Durga Maa Sherawali is portrayed as riding on a lion or a tiger. A tiger signifies unlimited power. Durga mounting a tiger implies that she owns immense power and uses it to protect virtue and defeat evil.  The lion is a symbol of uncontrolled animalistic trends (such as anger, arrogance, selfishness, greed, jealousy, desire to harm others, etc.), and her sitting on it tells us to control these characters, so that we are not restrained by them.

She is usually shown wearing a red sari.  The color red typifies the action and the red clothes signify that She is defeating evil and protecting mankind from pain and misery.

Thus, Maa Durga Murti symbolizes the Divine forces (positive energy) that are used against the negative powers of evil and wickedness. She personifies pure energy (positive), known as divine light or Jyoti that is the embodiment of feminine and creative energy.

There are several mantras for Durga Maa Sherawali, but the most simple and easy mantra to learn is “Om Sri Durgaya Namah.”  It is believed that by chorusing this mantra regularly the Divine Mother will remove the physical, mental, and worldly problems in life and shower us with her infinite blessings.
