Durga Puja, also known as Navratri Puja, is a vibrant festival celebrated over nine nights and ten days, in the month of October. The 10th day, called Vijayadashami, is considered to be very auspicious for starting new beginnings.
It is said that, Goddess Durga undertook a rigorous meditation for nine days to defeat the demon Mahishasur. Over this period, she meditated in her different formsโDurga, Mahalakshmi, and Saraswatiโrepresenting a journey from darkness to wisdom. Finally, the 10th day, Vijayadashami, marks her final victory, celebrating the triumph of good over evil.
Here are the 7 most most powerful Durga Stotrams and Mantras to chant on the sacred day of Vijayadashami to receive blessings from Durga Devi and overcome all sins and obstacles in life.
