Durga, the goddess of power and strength, is perhaps the most important goddess of the Hindus. Durga is a fierce form of Devi in Hindu mythology. Durga is also know as Mahishasuramardini or the slayer of Mahishasura, the buffalo demon.
Once upon a time, thousands of years ago, there was a tyrant called Mahishasura.
He was part demon and part buffalo.
Mahishasura meditated for thousands of years so he could please Lord Brahma and in return be blessed with immortality and power.
After much penance, his plan worked.
Lord Brahma came to him and said, “I am very pleased with your devotion. Ask me any boon that you desire.”
Without batting an eyelid, the arrogant Mahishasura said, “Lord, I don’t want any man or God to be able to kill me.”
Brahma raised his hand in blessing and said, “Tathastu. So be it, my child.”
A twinkle in Brahma’s eyes gave away the fact that maybe Mahishasura had left a loophole while seeking his blessing. Time would tell.
Armed with this boon, Mahishasura considered himself immortal, as no man or God could lay hands on him. He went berserk. In his rage and pride, he practically destroyed the Earth. The lands were soon covered in his darkness and his massacres were widespread. Not only that, he chased away the Gods out of heaven.
