    Durga — The Great Mother Goddess. For Hindus she is identical with western Juno, Queen of Mothers. This most powerful ancient goddess archetype, inheritor of the attributes of the Sumerian goddess Inanna, has been portrayed in mid-east iconography riding upon her lion (or tiger; both are symbols of queenly power) since prehistoric times. She is the personification of Shakti, the creative force. Here she offers the blessing mudra (sacred gesture) of protection to all mothers and children as she defeats the destructive elephant demon Mahisa. —picture and text © 1996 JBL Statues (now called Sacred Source), original text created by Tom Laudeman

    Durga - Devi — Symbol of Cosmic Harmony. The warrior goddess, riding upon a lion and wielding a weapon in each of her ten arms, corresponds with Inanna. She is depicted calm-faced and smiling as she defeats the buffalo demon. The latter symbolizes that egoistic force of maya (the everyday world) which deludes individuals and keeps them from knowing their innate nature as god. Durga, the fierce and creative shakti aspect of Godhead, emanates from the mother Parvati to restore order in the world, and peace in the heart of suffering devotees, in any time of crisis. —picture and text © 1996 JBL Statues (now called Sacred Source), original text created by Tom Laudeman
