The digest
On the auspicious occasion of the fourth Navaratri, devotees gather at the sacred shrine to honor Maa Kushmanda, the fourth manifestation of the divine Mother Durga. Acharya Vishwamurti Shastriji elucidates the profound significance of this form of the Goddess, delving into her cosmic role and the deeper meanings embedded within the Navaratri celebrations.
The Genesis of the Universe: Maa Kushmanda
Maa Kushmanda is revered as the creator of the universe. The term "Kushmanda" itself is derived from "Anda," meaning the cosmos or the universe. According to ancient scriptures, before the existence of anything, when darkness enveloped all, it was Maa Kushmanda who, with a gentle smile, brought forth the entire cosmos. She is the primordial mother of creation, the source from which all existence sprang. Her power predates even the great trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh, as she is believed to have given birth to Brahma first, followed by Vishnu and Mahesh. While these deities are revered as the creators, preservers, and destroyers, their ability to perform their cosmic functions is entirely dependent on the grace and blessings of this Adi Shakti, Maa Kushmanda. Her immense power and influence are beyond human comprehension, making her a pivotal figure in the cosmic order.
