Sri Devi Mahatmyam Parayanas – Sri RajaRajeshwari Peetham

What is Devi Mahatmyam?

Devi Mahatmyam (also known as Durga Saptasati and Chandi Path) is a religious text of Hinduism; part of the Markandeya Purana. Devi Mahatmyam describes the Goddess Durga as the supreme power and creator of the universe. The text consists of 700 slokas arranged into 13 chapters. Durga Saptasati addresses the tale of a battle between good and evil. The Goddess Durga, took 3 forms as Mahakali, Mahalakshmi, and MahaSaraswathi, to kill evil demons like Madhukaitabha, Mahishasura, Shumbha, and Nishumbha. Durga is the great Warrior Goddess, an embodiment of the lethal energy of divine anger when turned against evil. Devi Saptasati depicts how Devi Durga conquered the evilest demon in the world – Mahishasura, who took many different forms during the battle.
