Namaste,

 

Continuing the Dhyanas..

 

3)Durga as :Jaya Durga:

I adore JayaDurga who is worshipped by those who seek siddhi. She is

of the color of firmament. Her fierce look frightens the enemies. On

Her forehead is the crescent moon. She is seated on a lion. In Her

hands are a Shanka, Chakra, a Kripana and a Trishikha(Trident). She

has three eyes. Her tejas(glory , radiance)pervades the three

worlds. All the devas surround Her.

 

4)The Dhyana of Durga as :Shulini Durga:

 

adhyArUDhAM mR^igendraM sajalajaladhara shyAmalAM hastapadmaiH

shUlaM bANaM kR^ipANAmarijalajagadAcApapAshAn.h vahantIm.h.

candrottaMsAM trinetrAM catasR^ibhirabhitaH kheTakAn.h bibhratIbhiH

kanyAbhiH sevyamAnAM pratibha.abhayadAM shUlinIM bhAvayAmi..

 

I meditate on Shulini. She is seated on a lion and is of the dark

color of the rainladen cloud. In Her (eight)hands are a Shula, a

Bana, a Kripana, an Ari(discus), a Lotus, a Mace, a Bow and a Pasha.

She has three eyes and has the moon on Her forehead. She is attended

by four hand-maidens who are carrying Khetakas. She is the terror

of the enemy army.

 

My text is not very clear when it comes to Shulini Durga Dhyana.

 

Corrections are welcome.

 

Please note that these dhyana shlokas follow the mantra of that form

of Durga in the original text.

Ex: Jaya Durga dhyana is given after given the Jaya Durga mantra

But there should be no harm in meditating with the help of these

shlokas.
