About
A LIMITED EDITION OF 9 EPISODES. This is the story of the Goddess Durga and the mighty daanav (demon) Mahishasur. The story is from the Devi Bhaagvatam, a Sanskrit text that belongs to the Purana-genre of Hindu literature. It celebrates the divine feminine as the primordial creator of all existence; the creator, the preserver and the destroyer of everything, as well as the one who empowers spiritual liberation. If you enjoyed listening to this, you will also enjoy my other podcast, 'Treasures from the Puraans.'
