The Mythology
Devi is what the Goddess is called in India. To the Hindu, all Goddesses are on goddess, different aspects of the Devi or the Divine Feminine. An aspect of Devi was called into being to rid the world of the evil demon Durga (pronounced der'gah). In the battle between the Gods and the anti-gods or demons, none of the Gods could destroy Durga, so they went to Devi and asked for help. Mounting a tiger and brandishing her fearsome weapons, she attacked the demon, who changed from one terrifying form into another until Devi slew him when he transformed into a buffalo. In remembrance of the great battle, Devi took the name of Durga.
The Lessons of this Goddess
You have called Durga into your life to help you create boundaries. What are you taking inside that should remain outside? How are you not protecting yourself, your life, your time? Is the statement "No, I can't do this right now, I need to care for myself", part of your vocabulary? Perhaps you feel dumped on by others. Are you feeling pulled off center by demands to give and give and give till there is nothing left for yourself? Durga is here to assist you in nurturing wholeness by creating and fixing the limits of your personal space. Establishing clear boundaries is an act of self-love. Having no boundaries gives others the message that you are limitless and want to be treated in a limitless way. No one is limitless: there are places where we get hurt, places where we are vulnerable, places that need to be treated with care. The Goddess says that boundaries are vital because they let others know who you are and where you stand.
