Happy Navratri everyone. I am just awestruck everytime when I see that how Maa is evolving during these nine nights. Lets listen the story of the evolution
Maa Shailputri
Maa is worshipped in her daughter form. How a small baby is, Maa too is naive and she has just two hands which indicates that she is innocent like a small girl child. Just like a small child recognized by her father's name, she too is recognized by her father's (Shail) name.
Maa Brahmacharini
Maa is doing Tapasya and learning skills. She did a hardcore Tapasya for Mahadev. Just as we go to schools and serve a greater purpose in life, Maa is learning and learning her own hidden energies to serve a great purpose. She has two hands and she is following Brahmacharya, she takes us away from materialism.
Maa Chandraghanta
Maa has realized her skills and she is now possessing ten hands. Her energy is expanding a bit. Her few hands have weapons, while one hand has a lotus and a Mala, bell. After learning her skills, she is now balancing Bhakti and Shakti. Just as how we finish studies and Maa too has finished her learnings and she is ready to face any situation. She is vigilant now
Maa Kushmanda
Maa's name is a significance that she is ready to give birth to the child. She is compared to a pregnant woman. Maa carries a water pot which is the symbol of Garbha
Maa Skandmata
Now a daughter has become a mother in this form. Maa after giving birth has become the mother of Skand Kartikeya. This form of Maa is celebrated for her motherhood and that's why she doesn't carry any weapon in this form. Vatsalya Swaroop, Swayam Mamta ki Devi
Maa Katyayni
A mother nourishes a life and she becomes powerful for her child. And she fights to protect her child. How a mother fearlessly fights for a child, Maa has 18 hands in this form (energy has expanded even more) and she has killed Mahisasura in this form. She is the power of motherhood
Maa Kaalratri
Kaal Ratri means black like a night and other meaning of it is she is the Kaal herself. This form of Maa is very furious, a child faces extreme cruelty she can fight like Maa Kaali. And she carries horrific materials in her hands. Maa's energy has turned so wide that she can destroy
Maa Mahagauri
Mahadev calms her and she turns from black to white. She lives happily with her family and she showcases her skills and she has turned into a calm composed lady. By being Mahagauri she signifies that a person must fulfill his/her responsibilities towards their families.
Maa Siddhidatri
The supreme form, compare her to our grandmother, who is wise and gives their experiences to us. Maa is blessing us with her Siddhi's in this form. She has attained her superpowers and this form of Maa was united with Mahadev and they were called Ardhanaarishwar
This is just my analysis, sorry for mistakes, such a beautiful evolution!!!!!
Jai Mataji
Har Har Mahadev
