JAI MATA DI… DAY 8 OF NAVRATRI… On this day we worship Goddess Mahagauri…
She is the original form of Goddess Parvati when she did penance to get Lord Shiva as her husband. It is believed that due to her intense Tapas without moving caused soil and dust to collect on her body her colour became black. Then Lord Shiva cleaned her with Ganga water. Due to this reason she becomes white and shines like an electricity and thus named as MahaGauri. This form of Durga depicts purity.In this form Maa is like aneight-year old child with complexion as fair as a conch, moon and jasmine. Her clothes and ornaments are white and pure. She has three eyes and four arms. Her right upper hand is in the pose of allaying fear and right lower hand holds a trident in it. The left upper hand holds a tambourine and the lower one is in the pose of blessing. All sins of devotees are washed away due to her worship. Her power is unfailing and instantly giving results. Unmarried girls can get good husband and married women are blessed with happy married life by offering puja to Maa Mahagauri.
