Meaning
This sacred hymn, spoken by Lord Krishna, praises Goddess Durga as the primal Mother, the source of creation, and the supreme power governing the universe. She is the origin of all three gunas, yet beyond them as the formless Supreme Brahman. She is truth, eternal and limitless.
The hymn describes the Goddess as the embodiment of divine radiance, compassion, protection and universal truth. She is the source of all forms, the support of all existence, the seed of creation and the object of worship for gods and humans alike.
Durga is intelligence, wisdom, power, compassion, sleep, satisfaction, peace, modesty, nourishment and auspiciousness. For the virtuous, she is prosperity; for the wicked, downfall. She manifests as Yoga Nidra, Maheshwari, Brahmani, Vaishnavi, Bhadra Kali, village goddess, household guardian and the destroyer of evil forces.
She protects the righteous like a mother, destroys demons and harmful influences, grants success in battles, and shields devotees from calamities. She is the essence of education, intellect, memory, creativity, royal strength, commerce, creation, preservation and dissolution. She is Kalaratri, Mahamaya, the force that veils the path of liberation for those caught in illusion.
Krishna concludes that this hymn is a powerful destroyer of sorrows, and whoever recites it during worship attains the fulfillment of all desires and divine protection.
Benefits:
• Protection from dangers, negativity and evil
• Strength, courage, clarity and prosperity
