Additional Information:
Chandi is considered the fiercest form of the Goddes, who is the main deity of the famous Devi Mahatmya, a great poem of seven hundred verses (also called Durga Saptasati or Chandi) which celebrates the destruction of demons. As Chandi or the destroyer of opposition, she can be invoked for removing obstacles to allow us to attain any of the four goals of life. Our temple will be performing a special Chandi Homam on Sep 27th at 09:30am.
. The Devi Mahatmya or Devi Mahatmyam is a Hindu religious text describing the Goddess as the supreme power and creator of the universe. It is part of the Markandeya Purna
The Devi Mahatmyam describes a storied battle between good and evil, where the Devi manifesting as goddess Durga leads the forces of good against the demon Mahishasura -the goddess is very angry and ruthless, and the forces of good win. In peaceful prosperous times, states the text, the Devi manifests as Lakshmi, empowering wealth creation and happiness.
