Goddess Durga is
worshipped in different forms. SHE
is a form of "Shakti". The evolution
of Shri Maha Saraswati, Shri Maha
Laxmi and Shri Mahakali (the 3 main
forms of "Shakti") took place from
Shri Brahma, Shri Vishnu and Shri
Mahesh respectively. Each of these 3
deities gave rise to 3 more forms
and hence in all, these 9 forms
together are known as Nav-Durga. |
