Where Goddess Durga Got Her Weapons From And What Is Their Significance?
Durga is one such ferocious form of the mother goddess who is renowned for her battle prowess. The half buffalo and half asura, Mahishasura who was the king of asuras, easily defeated the devas due to a boon from Brahma. The boon granted the asura partial immortality as only a woman could slay the asura. The defeated devas asked the Trimurti of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva for help. The three supreme Gods, with their combined powers, summoned a pillar of brilliant light from which Shakti, in the form of Durga, the ten-armed Goddess of war, appeared. The ten arms symbolise how the Goddess protects her devotees in all 10 directions; the 4 cardinal directions, the 4 ordinal directions and also above and below the living realm. The gods who witnessed the creation of Durga, offered their powerful weapons and adorned the ten arms of the divine mother with the power to destroy the tyrant asura.
Shiva’s Trishul
Vishnu’s Sudarshan Chakra
Brahma’s Kamandala
Indra’s Vajra
Vayu’s Bow and Quiver of Infinite Arrows
Varuna’s Conch
Agni’s Burning Spear
Yama’s Sword
Vishwakarma’s Axe
Surya’s Sunrays
After obtaining offerings in the form of divine weapons and other divine objects from the Trimurti and the devas, the king of mountains, Himavan offered Durga a vahana, the lion. With her ten arms equipped with the power offered by different gods, Durga, who was, as radiant as the sun, rode on her lion and arrived on the battlefield. She challenged the buffalo asura and after a fierce battle that lasted for nine days, Durga defeated Mahishasura, restoring peace in all three realms.

Is there any doubt that men are motivated to properly and completely [once and for all] do the things which are not unspeakable *only* if their minds have not recognized others as being less fortunate than them (and that this is why poor nations and families remain poor and that I do this by ignoring them until I'm finished with becoming a scientist)?

She didn't get them.... They were already hers.... All the devas have her powers flowing through their beings and weapons... She is the shakti in nirakara.... She seperated from them in order to fight this demon... Otherwise everything was already hers

[@avishekmukhopadhyay6086]

Thats impossible, gods gave everything...without them she is nothing

[@deyeofspirit7419]

@@avishekmukhopadhyay6086 I know it's difficult to take in... But she is that one shakti Aadishakti who resides in every deity or god as you say.. Which came out and united to form maa Durga... Seing woman over man is bit difficult .. But ya you are right she is nothing without her male counterparts as she is the force and they are the instruments

[@avishekmukhopadhyay6086]

@@deyeofspirit7419 spot on....you are a woke liberal as i was suspecting. Ultimate force is a 50-50 balance of masculine and feminine...like shiva and shakti ...yin yan etc etc. One is nothing without the other....But i purposely replied in a slight provocative way to check if you are woke feminist...and bang on i was right. You immediately started assuming that i am against women and revealed your actual mindset. The supreme is neither male nor female...we all have both in different proportion. Durga..kali is energy.....and shiva is consciousness. One is incomplete without the other. From your original comment itself it was clear that you are biased...thats why i had to drastically say the exact opposite on your face to bring out your true colour. Plz start thinking man and woman as equal, it will be good for you later....no one is higher or lower.

[@deyeofspirit7419]

@@avishekmukhopadhyay6086 I'm not a feminist at all... Woke or asleep is a rubbish in my case... I'm someone who has seen the importance of devi.... Without whom... Enlightenment is just a dream... And I've seen Shiva... Without whom devi is not sustained in our consciousness... She might give thousand boons... Still they'll be lost without blessings of Shiva... God has both feminin and masculine forms... As a mother and a father... But if you talk about deities... They aren't god... They are aspects of god... Aspects of Sadashiva's energy... (i.e. aadishakti) So Durga maa was not created by them... She was instead summoned by them... She was always there... I myself don't prefer modern females...like lucknow incidents... Rather I was talking about mothers... Our nation has suppressed and disrespected mothers alot. While a mother should be placed at the highest point in a society. .. Because she deserves that.

I belive adishakthi (first power) and adiparashakthi (the first great power) are different. One is the primordial goddess (Maya -illusion) itself (adiparashakthi) and other is the representation of her power (adishakthi)

Vishnu's chakra is made from the attempt to decrease the scorching heat and radiance of sun god by Vishwakarma, because Vishwakarma's daughter sandya Devi could not bear it and; out of this residue are made other powerful weapons like chakra, conch etc

Lord Yama gave his mace or kaldand sword was given by kala

[@kalikaputra]

Devi manifested different days if Brahma and different yugas. Some puranas give stories from different days and manvantars and the pastime doesn't play out exactly the same. There are variations. The version you read is one but you have other stories where the contributers have different weapons.

[@prosantomukerji3931]

KUNAL ROY; Bang banddu; your belonging to a purohit Brahmin samaj is irrelevant. The fact is that Hinduism worships KATILS and KALPANIC deities such as the Bengalis worship, vicious and kaplpanic Durga with eight 8 riding a lion, LOL while murdering mahishasura with a trishule. Durga is a KATIL. like Shiva who in a jealous rage beheaded his own son and then replaced it with a large head of a slaughtered elephant, creating Ganapathi, a MURDA worshiped by the murkhs like you and many others to remove life obstacles. Good Luck, Murk, purohit brahman, Kunal Roy. Facts lead to the truth. Satyemeva Jayete.
