Maa Durga, The Slayer Of mahishasura, Destroys the egoistic demon mahishasura In Divine Triumph And Protection — celebrated especially during Navaratri through the famous
“Aigiri Nandini” Stotra by adi shankaracharya.
This is a highly Sacred Symbolic Process Of spiritual awakening. Maa Durga’s Spear Symbolizes Knowledge, and being Pierced By The Divine Spear Symbolises being Penetrated By The Light Of Knowledge.
The Penetrating Light Of Knowledge Forces mahishasura to reveal his real form — a “false and egoic self” locked into narrow ego.
To progress toward the realisation Of The True Self, it is first important to discern the “false self” and decapitate it.
Maa Durga Blesses With The Light Of Knowledge That Leads To spiritual awakening
“She Leapt Upon the great asura, Pinned his neck down With Her Foot, And Pierced him through With Her Spear.”
– Chapter 3, Verse 40, The Devi Mahatmya
