History of the Mantra

The Ya Devi mantra, found in the Devi Mahatmyam (Durga Saptashati), is an invocation to the goddess Durga, the divine mother who embodies strength, compassion, and protection.
The text tells the story of Durga's victory over the demon Mahishasura, who symbolized chaos and evil.
When the gods were helpless, Durga manifested from the combined energy of all deities, wielding their powers to destroy Mahishasura.
However, her victory is not just about battle; it highlights her motherly protection. Durga’s love for her devotees is nurturing and fierce - like a mother fiercely guarding her children.
This maternal aspect of Durga has made her a symbol of unconditional love and refuge. For centuries, devotees chant this mantra to invoke her divine strength, feeling her presence as a comforting and protective mother figure who guides them through adversity and showers them with blessings.
