Nava Durga (Compact Size)

Nava Durga, published by Gita Press, Gorakhpur, is a beautifully illustrated guide to the nine divine forms of Goddess Durga — each worshipped on one of the sacred nine nights of Navratri. The book describes their appearance, weapons, symbolism and the blessings each form bestows upon devotees.

The nine forms:

• Shailaputri — daughter of the mountains

• Brahmacharini — devoted ascetic

• Chandraghanta — bearer of the moon-bell

• Kushmanda — creator of the cosmic egg

• Skandamata — mother of Skanda

• Katyayani — warrior goddess

• Kalaratri — destroyer of darkness

• Mahagauri — the radiant pure one

• Siddhidatri — giver of spiritual powers

A cherished companion for Navratri worship and daily devotion.
