i am sorry . i should have sent this yesterday.

 

but see if ashtamii is still there in india.

 

 

the following are the 32 names of shrii Durga

 

these are said to be given by the Goddess herself. i think the last two

shlokaas indicate that.

and remember

 

The word DURGA consists of five parts D+U+R+G+A.

 

The sound 'D' stands for DAITYA - ASURA or demon tendencies like anger, ego

attachment, greed etc, destruction of these DAITYA VRITIes.

The sound 'U' stands for VIGHANA NASHAKA - destroyer of obstacles

The sound 'R' stands for ROGA NASHAKA - destroyer of diseases

The sound 'G' stands for PAAPA NASHAKA - destroyer of sins

The sound 'A' stands for BHAYA NASHAKA - destroyer of fears

Thus, DURGA sound is destroyer of all malefics.

 

 

 

 

various shlokaas

 

these are extracts from a larger stotra called aparaadha xamaapana

(different from the one written by shrii shankara bhagavatpaada )
