Durga and Mahisha: The buffalo demon, ahisha stomped across the three worlds, kicking up dust,polluting the earth and sea. Neither Indra, king of gods, nor Kumara, commander of the celestial armies could stop him.In despair the gods called on Vishnu for help.Vishnu confronted the demon Mahisha first as Narasimha the man lion and then as Varaha, the boar, but each time he failed to subdue the demon. Shiva, the supreme ascetic, disturbed by the violence opened his third eye unleashing the fire of doom.Even the power of Shiva's third eye capable of destroying the three worlds could not arrest Mahisha's march. Nothing can stop Mahisha now: he will soon control the universe and make Nature dance to his tunes,"said Brahma the creator."It will never be so,Nature can never be conquered,"said Brahma as his divine strength, his shakti, emerged from his body in the form of the goddess Brahmi. She rode a swan and held books of wisdom in her hands.
