Durga Saptashati - The Esoteric Meaning 

The demons in Durga Sapthashati: 1 . Mathu and Kaitub: (Sweet and Sour) Rising above taste of sweet and sour. Rising above the duality is the biggest hurdle of a seeker. Rising above sounds and tastes. 2.Mahishasur(signifies rage and lust): They knock down any seeker. You can't remove them but they can be channelized. They are the biggest surge to the energies of the seeker. 3.Dhumralochan: (Maya and illusion): Purifying the sight. Staying away from the illusion of information and not getting distracted. 4. Chand and Mund: Chand(Passion, cruelty, violence) Mund(Head, intelligence passion) Let them pass like clouds. 5. Rakthbheej(Desires): Rakthbheej is a demon who has a boon that when his blood drops on the battlefield countless like him emerge with the same boon and power. Desires are such things. One desire leads to many other desires. 6. Shumb and Nishumb: Good and Bad. One has to stop classifying things as good and bad. Raise above them. 7. Surath and Samadhi(Good path and oneness) The final attainment after crossing all the inner demons. Demons are classified into three categories: 1.Brahm granthi (THe one that creates desires) 2. Vishnu granthi(The one that sustains desires) 3. Rudra granthi(The one that destroys or propels desires) Keypoint: Durga Sapthasathi is not about meaninglessly chanting but understanding the esoteric meaning and bringing into the way we follow as seekers.

I have been hearing this from my Maa since I was young. But for the first time I understand the real meaning of Durga Saptashati. It touches my heart. Thank you Swamiji.

आप सच मे गुरू हो कितने सरल भाषा में आपने हमारे मन के अंधकार को मिटा कर ग्यान के उजाले की ओर दिशा दर्शाई है। बहुत बहुत धन्यावाद

One of the best talks I’ve ever heard… as I’m navigating my Path… with my Guruji in the front… Jai Swamiji!! 🙏😇🌟

Great today I got clear meaning of Durga Sapthashathi..Jai Gurudev....

The pure way to discover our life - he describes- Just great. From his various sermons it appear that giving up "Shadripus" discover the divine power in ourselves. Swamiji goes beyond our thoughts regarding religion. Just great work done by him.

Very well explained. Right now I am reading Sri Devi Mahatmiyam. I can understand the true meaning now! Thank you Swamiji.🙏

Though I have been worshiping Maa since my childhood, its only now that i have understood the true meaning. Your discourse has changed my view. Accept my gratitude for showing the right path.

I have been reading Shri Durga Saptashati for the last few years during Navratri but today when I was reading I also want to find out some philosophical meaning from this book which is supra- rational. Thank you Swamiji for making it easy for us to understand the Devi Mahatmya . Happy Navratri to all🙏🙏

Thank you Swamiji for making my chanting the Durga shaptashati so much more meaningful Your discourse has given it a new dimension

Swamiji, you are great. This is the most beautiful meaning of Durga saptashati I've come across in my life. I bow down to the knowledge that you carry, the knowledge bestowed by the divine mother herself. I pray that you live well and guide humanity the same way you are doing.

A serene, informative and a pleasant discourse lord or rather my kandha ,in kannada it means my dearest son,infinite thanks Gurudev.

I always chased geeta to understand this bt got this in durga saptshati in a wonderful manner. Thanks mahashaya...

Jai Ma 👏🙇‍♀️👏. Its a blessing to have you in my life. Nothing more is needed. You are Ultimate and Truth Love you Swamiji and want to be in your lotus feet for ever👏🙇‍♀️👏🙇‍♀️👏🙇‍♀️👏🙇‍♀️👏🙇‍♀️👏

Swamiji I do recite lalitha sahasranamam everyday. Feel happy to recite. Need your guidance and blessings 🙏

Aum Namah Shivay Babaji 💐🙏🏼

Thank you so much

I have felt sometimes that on some level, all worthwhile paths whether literary or scientific, spiritual or artistic, it's the same on some fundamental level.

THE LAST ONE IS VERY TOUGH.... only masters achieve this. But it brings IMMENSE freedom .

Pranams Swamiji

Heard discourse just finishing Navratas and after few months and found no meaning and fresh inspiration.It is scientific logical and analytical from intellect point of view but equally touching from devotee angle.

Guru Ji 🙏💞

thank you very much for a wonderful explanation

Thankyou swamiji....

Beautiful explaination.. accept my pranams.

Sree mathrae namah

Arre wonderful......made so easy....and presented very nicely....... thanks O.P.SIROHI

Beautiful Explanation !

Thank you. Very nicely you lit the real meaning of battle Devi does for all being. I must say though that to first reach Samadhi all the demons are slain, are they not? In regards Sadhana, is not so that one could be more crowded in a remote cave in the Himalayas (thoughts, desire) than walking in downtown Los Angeles. It this is true the real Sadhana does not depend on the outward environment.

Beautiful explanation.

Swamiii💞

jai shree krishna

give your blessing pl

Very meaningful

Beautiful.. I was trying to map it to Gita framework that I am little familiar with.. Madhu Kaitabha aka Sweet n Bitter.. Raaga Dwesha at the level of senses Mahishasura.. Maheshwaasa the Great Bowman .. Rakta Bheeja and Chanda Munda..Rajo guna Energy of Kaama Krodha in the mind Dumra Lochana.. Hazy Perception and Vision.. Needs purification..perhaps at chitta Shumbha Nishumbha.. Shubh ashubh.. shreyas Preyas

❤

🙏

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

beautiful!
