Mahishasura Mardini Stotra and Puja

A very popular devotional strotra dedicated to Goddess Durga known as Mahishasura Mardini Strotra was composed by Adi Guru Shankaracharya. This stotra is dedicated to fierce form of Goddess Durga, who slayed the buffalo demon Mahishasur. As per Hindu Mythology, Goddess Durga is the fierce form of Goddess Parvati, and is depicted having 10 arms carrying weapon and sitting on a Tiger. It is believed that this incarnation of Goddess Durga fights and destroys any kind of Evil and Demonic forces, thereby establishing Peace, Prosperity and Dharma.

Story of Mahishasura :
As per legends, Mahishasur was the Grandson of Sage Kashyap and a very powerful Demon, who was able to change his shapes. He hated Devtas, and wanted to take revenge upon them. For this, he prayed to Lord Brahma for a very long period and got a boon from Lord Brahma that he could not be killed by anybody except for a woman. Hence after this boon, he literally became invincible and started war against Devtas, in which he eventually defeated all of them, and took possession of Devlok. Harassed Devtas sought help from Trinity viz Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. To alleviate their problems, the Gods of Trinity combined their divine energies and created Goddess Durga, who ultimately defeated and killed Mahishasura after a fierce battle that lasted for 9 days. Thus, Goddess Durga became a symbol of ultimate weapon for destruction of all kind of Evil forces.
