A story of Ma Durga

 


Intro:

Ma Durga has four children. Her two sons are: Ganesha (the elephant-headed god) and Kartik (the god of beauty). Her two daughters are: Saraswati (the goddess of education) and Lakshmi ( the goddess of wealth). I am about to tell you a story about a huge battle that shook the earth, between Mahishasura  and Ma Durga.

The story:

There once was a demon called Mahishasura ( as you know). He was given so many powers by the Gods and Goddesses that he became evil and started killing people. One of the powers he was given was that he could not be killed by any male, not even by a God! Then Ma Durga stepped up, and challenged him to a fight. Ma Durga was a woman, my friends, so there was a chance that she would kill Mahishasura. She was no ordinary woman, too! She had ten hands! This is because Mahishasura needed to be killed as he was very evil. The gods and goddesses prepared Ma Durga for the Earth-rattling battle.

Mahishasura was hiding in the belly of a buffalo, like the Spartans in their trojan horse. When he came out, there was an intensely immense battle between Mahishasura and Ma Durga that shook the world as if it was a rattle being shaken by a giant! In the end, Ma Durga killed Mahishasura, marking the victory of good over evil! Every year, Hindus all over the world celebrate Durga Puja with grandeur, pomp and show.
