Gems from Chandi Class

[Guest guest]

There are 7 verses from the Chandi that describe the essence of the Goddess's

nature called

the Sapta Sloki Durga. She is the Great Measurement of Consciousness. She is

Mahamaya.

She captivates the perceiving capacity of consciousness with such force as to

make them

forget. She is the giver of the fruit of all action. When she is pleased she

grants the fruit and

when she is displeased she frustrates all desire. When you remember her in

spiritual harmony

you get increase in spiritual growth.When you remember her in desire you get

fulfillment of

desire. She is the total energy of all there is. These verses express the

essence of Durga.

Remember that Durgam means confusion or difficulties and Durga takes away the

Durgam.
