Durga in Sanskrit means “ Invincible”. The r in durga denotes diseases (rogaghna) and the ga is the destroyer of sins (papaghna), injustice, irreligion, cruelty, laziness and other evil habits.Thus the goddess Durga destroys all these evils represented by du, r, and ga.

The worship of Durga has been popular since very ancient times. Lord Ram worshiped Mother Durga to attain victory over the demon King Ravana. The Mahabharata mentions the worship of Durga by Krishna for obtaining victory over the kauravas.

Durga symbolizes the nondualisitc existence of energized consciousness or conscious energy. Being the divine mother, she destroys the disharmony that is creating imbalance in the phenomenal world.
