On the fourth day of Navratri, Maa Kushmanda, Goddess Durga’s fourth Avatar, is worshipped. Her name means ‘cosmic egg,’ and she is regarded as the universe’s creator. Lord Vishnu was allowed to begin constructing the cosmos when Maa Kushmanda beamed like a flower with a bud, according to Hindu legend. She built the universe from nothing during a period when the planet was completely dark. Maa Durga’s Swarup is the origin of everything. She is known as Adiswarup and Adishakti because she created the universe.
She possesses eight hands in which she wields Kamandul, a bow, an arrow, a jug of honeydew (Amrit), a discus, a sword, and a lotus, as well as a rosary in which she bestows the Ashtasiddhis and Navniddhis to her worshippers. Ashtabhuja is another name for her. Her skin is bright and she has a lovely face. Maa, who dwells in the Sun’s core, is in charge of Surya Lok.
In spiritual practice, Maa Kushmanda represents the Anahata Chakra. Maa Kushmanda’s heavenly blessings assist you to enhance your health and riches. She eliminates all obstacles and problems from your life and allows you to be free of all kinds of miseries. Maa creates peace in your life by bringing light into the darkness.
To honor Maa Kushmanda, recite the mantra below
” सुरासम्पूर्णकलशं रुधिराप्लुतमेव च ।
दधाना हस्तपद्माभ्यां कूष्माण्डा शुभदास्तु मे ॥ “
