Day 6 : Divine Feminine Energies ✨
Goddess Katyayani - The Warrior Goddess !!
She is the 6th incarnation of Mother Durga. 🔱
She was born with the sole purpose of vanquishing the demon Mahishasura. 👺
Tormented by his cruel acts, the trinity Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva combine their energies which crystallize in the form of rays at the hermitage of Sage Katyayan. With his intense meditation and prayers, Devi Katyayani emerges from these rays, to be born as his daughter. ☀️
In that fierce battle, she cuts Mahishasura’s head with her sword, coming to be known ever since as ‘'Mahishasuramardhini”, the slayer of Mahishasura. 👹
She is worshipped as the Warrior Goddess and referred to as Bhadrakali, Shakti, and Chandika too. ⚔️
The color red signifies anger and bravery. 😡
This post is dedicated to India's first IPS officer, Kiran Bedi. An epitome of Valor, Vigour and Valiance. 🥇🎖️
I hope this Modern day Durga (Katyayani) inspires every girl to confront her life’s battles and overcome gender discrimination, harassment, sexual abuse, gender pay gap and many other demons. 🗡️
