Durga — разлика између измена

[[fileДатотека:Durga Mahisasuramardini.JPG|thumbмини|rightдесно|200px|Durga]]

Velika boginja '''Durga''' je rođena iz energije muških božanstava kada su bogovi izgubili dugo vođenu bitku sa [[demonim]]a. Sve energije bogova su ujedinjene i postala je supernova, izbacujući plamen u svim pravcima. Tada se jedinstvena svetlost, prožimajući tri sveta svojim sjajem, spojila u jednu, i postala je ženski oblik. Jedan od najčešće pominjanih oblika Velike boginje je njena manifestacija kao mlade, multi-naoružane boginje, koja je pobedila moćnog bizona, demona koji simbolizuje, između ostalog, elementarne sile sirovog, životinjskog neznanja. U ovoj inkarnaciji ona se naziva Durga, „nedostupna“.<ref>{{cite web |title= Durga |url= http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/174252/Durga |publisher= Encyclopædia Britannica Online |date= |accessdate = 7. 10. 2009.}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Article on Durga About.com Hinduism|url=http://hinduism.about.com/od/hindugoddesses/a/durga.htm|accessdate = 2. 10. 2011.}}</ref>
