Goddess Durga is Adi Shakti, the primordial part of the energy that created the universe and is responsible for all events. She is Maya. Tantrik practitioners, householders, and devi upaasak worship Goddess Durga using a variety of stotras and mantras. Durga Battisi or Dwatrinsha Naammala’ is the name of a stotra containing 32 names of Durga.
Goddess has repeatedly rescued the world, gods, and humans from numerous demons. She was named Durga because she defeated the monster, Durga. Durga Saptashati’s sacred words have beautifully sung the majesty of Devi. It relates how Goddess Durga emerged in various forms and defended the universe against demons such as Mahishasur, Chanda Munda, Shumbha Nisha, and others. The 32 names of Goddesses are an unfathomably potent stotra for removing all obstacles from one’s life.
