190. Om durgayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is the Goddess Durga.
Amma is the vanquisher of everything evil in this world. Amma is also the very concept of removing evil from this world. She has so much goodness in Her, that vices have no place when Amma is there. She is the beautiful Goddess Durga. Mahishasura Mardini. The protector of Her devotees who with Her many arms, protects us from all directions. She is the slayer of evil. Whether it is the demon durgama or Mahishasura. Amma will always protect us from the demons.
The demons are rarely outside of us. The worst demons we encounter are all within us. Whether it is fear or anger or hatred, we feel it within us. Whatever the external factor, the vice starts within us. No one reaches in and plants it there. And the higher the vice, the less our faith in Amma. Amma graces us by actually helping destroy these demons that reside in us. That we surreptitiously give birth to. That we unknowingly nurture. And She doesn't do it with weapons. Just pure love. Something we cannot ignore. Something more powerful than a million weapons. This is the reason we feel so much at peace when in Amma's company or, at a more realized level, when we dwell on Amma. She removes all these demons and helps us find peace. We are finally rid of the devil in our life. And Amma totally erases them for us. How blessed we are! I wonder if we have actually fully understood the extent of divinity we are being graced with. This is no ordinary occurrence. The Goddess Herself - the very creator and preserver of this world - is there to hold us, listen to us and to give us a hug. She cares for us and will do everything to make us happy.
Now if only we could hold the faith!
Om Amriteswariye namah!
