The festival of Durga Puja is celebrated with religious observance in the Indian states. Hindu Goddess Durga is portrayed as having ten arms and believed to have nine different forms. Each form symbolizes a religious significance. On one hand, where we get to see her in the form of a gracious woman, who symbolizes the female dynamism, then on the other hand, she is given a terrifying look of a destroyer that is apt to frighten the demons. Here is the 9 different forms of Godess Durga …

Today, there are approximately 900 million people who practice Hinduism. But there is not a universally accepted doctrine of this religion, nor are there universally observed practices among them. Two Concerns (among others) of HindusPurification: this is sometimes sought out through sacrifice and through meditation and yoga, but most commonly through ritual bathing.Liberation: this is the overarching goal of a Hindu’s life, release (moksha) from the cycle of reincarnation (samsara). Hindu Theology There are literally thousands of Hindu deities and demigods, found throughout the natural world. Hindu cosmology refers to the absolute in terms that are sometimes personalized and sometimes not. Personalism is the pattern of representing the absolute as divine persons, beings with the traits and characteristics normally associated with human persons (e.g., embodiment, emotions, mental functions like thinking and willing).Pantheism: the idea that the sacred or the divine is present in everything. Everything, every piece of the world, is god, a manifestation of the absolute. Henotheism: similar to monotheism, but one god is selected for worship from a larger group. Three Approaches to HinduismVedic: worship centers on sacrifice to the gods as a way of maintaining the balance of the cosmos (rita: “the proper course of things”). This form of Hinduism was developed and practiced in antiquity, up to about the middle of the first millennium b.c.e. It involved large-scale public sacrifices performed by priests; over time the performance of private sacrifice by heads of households within homes became more widespread. Yogic: a more philosophical approach, in which yoga and meditation play a large role. Here the individual person is thought of as the sacrifice, purifying themselves through deeper understanding of themselves and the world. Asceticism (renunciation of worldly goods and pleasures – e.g., fasting) is also a part of this approach to Hinduism. These practices were developed beginning in the middle of the first millennium b.c.e. During this period the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali were composed. Puranic: devotional worship (Bhakti) of individual gods or goddesses is practiced, including the tending of altars with offerings to deities and large public festivals. This form of Hinduism begins to develop during the last two or three centuries b.c.e. It was at this time that the texts known as Puranas were written. These texts contain stories about the gods and goddesses of the Puranic pantheon (a different set than the Vedic pantheon). Today it is the most widely followed form of Hinduism in the world. It is often called simply Bhakti or devotional Hinduism. Three Paths (margas) to LiberationYajna: salvation gaine ...
