Maa kushmanda story

ॐ देवी कूष्माण्डायै नमः॥

Om Devi Kushmandayai Namah॥

Maa Kushmanda is the fourth manifestation of Goddess Durga. On the fourth day of Navaratri, worship of Devi Kushmanda is performed.

Her divine spark, characterized in her physical depiction as a smile, is what created the light that flooded what was once vast darkness. She is known as the One who created the universe.

Considered by some to be the Mother of the Sun, she brings the Sun’s warmth, light, and clarity to Earth. She resides in the sun and so provides the energy that creates tremendous heat.

The name Kushmanda is a compound word that consists of three Sanskrit words ‘ku’ (meaning-little), ‘ushma’(meaning-warmth) and ‘anda’(meaning-egg); which combined together means a little warm cosmic-egg.

Ku-ushma-anda may be thought of as the “Egg of Light in the World,” illuminating all things, making all things known, and is the source of energy for life.

Her role is to add heat and light to the cosmic egg, the egg or bija which gives the essence of all the possibilities for creation. So, Kushmanda Devi cooks the Cosmic egg.

For spiritual aspirants, She is the Goddess of Purification, of Tapasya – adding heat and light to purify all of the actions we perform.

As we become inspired to learn the sacred studies and commit to practicing our chosen sadhana, grace falls upon us in the form of Kushmanda Devi.

This illumined Goddess of Purification elevates us on our Path by purifying all of our actions, making everything we do a form of puja.

She bestows brightness, clarity, and profound peace to her adorers. Her radiance is eternal.

Mother brings light into darkness and establishes harmony in your life. She is a form of “Adi Shakti ” and worshipping Maa Kushmanda lets us enter into the heart chakra.

Her warm nature nurtures the entire universe. Grace and dignity of Maa Kushmanda is truly incredible. Her beauty is boundless.

Upon obtaining the grace of Goddess Kushmanda, all of our actions are continuously purified so that they become the most expressive demonstration of the sincerity of our love!

Ultimately, with Her purifying grace, all actions become sadhana, a sacrificial offering, leaving no separation between the spiritual life and worldly life. It all becomes “one” and we enjoy the highest illumination, contentment, and peace with no room for conflict and strife. Such is the grace of this revered Goddess!

She is a beautiful Goddess with a pleasant, nurturing smile, and is represented with eight-arms with the following significance:

chakra: divine weapon which is constantly in motion; to ward off negative energies

gada (mace): symbol of power and strength packing a powerful concentrated blow

japa mala (rosary): offers all types of Siddhi (perfection) and Nidhi (treasure) to her devotees

Worshiping this goddess is believed to bestow spiritual fulfillment and harmony in the life of all devotees.

It is believed that this is the only goddess who can bestow 8 siddhis (perfections) and 9 nidhis (jewels) to her sadhaks. .

Her boundless blaze gives light in lives of human being. Her grace endows divine spark to adorers. Goddess Kushmanda is true symbolism of divine spark.

Worshippers of this Goddess certainly obtain cosmic energy that enhances their positive aura.

According to the legend, there was absolute darkness in the solar system or galaxies. It was null and void. It was Devi Kushmanda who created the world as we see it today.

The sun gives life to the world and Goddess Kushmanda herself is the power of the sun and is the source of all energy when she resides within the core of the Sun God. It was to create a balance in the universe and provide life to all living beings from the sun rays, her power gives the sun its capability to give life to everyone, as she herself is Shakti.

She is the source of Lord Surya's power. Without her, Surya's light and energy will grow dim and fade away and will become powerless.

Lord Surya gives life to creation, but she is also the one who is responsible for it too. It is her power that makes him capable of doing so, and when Mahashakti appears in the form of Kushmanda, it is what she does.

From her smile, a body of energy came forth from her and from that potent energy, came forth light and creation. She always smiles when the Gods, inferior people and other celestial beings honored her.
