Dr. Pillai's Durga Mantra

Durga Mantra is a hymn or chant that is dedicated to the Hindu goddess, Durga. The Goddess is a powerful deity, and is considered as the Mother Goddess. She is believed to protect her devotees from the evil forces in the world and put an end to their torments. There are many Durga mantras that can be chanted to invoke her protection and guidance. Durga in Sanskrit means “invincible,” but it also means “one who eliminates sufferings.” The syllable ‘Du’ represents the 4 devils of poverty, sufferings, evil habits, and famine, while ‘r’ represents diseases. And ‘ga’ means ‘destroyer of injustice, sins, cruelty, irreligion, and laziness’. Durga mantras help one to focus the mind on the power that is represented by the Goddess. This is believed to make the devotee strong and transform him/her mentally and physically.
