The
power of the Mother Goddess is perhaps greater than that of any other god. She
is even worshipped by all the gods themselves. She is Shakti- the power of Brahma,
Vishnu and Mahesh. She takes the form of their consorts , without whom, none of
the gods can achieve anything. She is worshipped all over India with the same
ardour under different names and manifestations- the most benign face of the goddess
is Durga. The stories included here speaks about the mercy of Devi Durga on mere
mortals. Told during the morning 'pujas', they have come down generation to generation
and reflects some aspects of the ancient Hindu culture. So, here we begin the
stories!
