Nava Durga Stotram
Translated by
( Shakthi worship
aimed at the worship of
woman as the power behind everything is possibly
very unique in Hinduism.
Though the goddess Shakthi plays a secondary roles as consort of Lord Vishnu, Shiva and Lord Brahma, right
from the upanishadic days , her
portrayal as the unique power which
makes all the gods, Pancha Bhoothas , Ashta dig
Palakas etc to act as they do is well recognized. During the Navarathri(Dusserah) she
is worshipped in nine different forms
, Nava Durgas are those Shakthi aspects worshipped
during different days of Navarathri. The stotra in Sanskrit script can
