Durga: Creator and Destroyer of Difficulties

Website: https://chthonia.netPublications: https://chthonia.net/publicationsMerch: https://https://chthoniapodcast.creator-spring.com/Patreon: https://patreon.com/chthoniaThis week, we take a look at Goddess Durga. It is strange that I have covered almost every other major Shakti figure on this podcast, but have not done an episode on the star of the Devi Mahatmayam, Durga herself. Beholden to no one, Durga is a warrior called in when she is invited to battle the draining forces of greed and power. We look at the paradox of a goddess who represents both the causes of our violent and angry impulses and also the remedy to those same impulses.
