According to the katha, when Lord Brahma began creating the universe, darkness spread everywhere, and silence filled the surroundings. At that time, the universe did not exist. The Trimurti then took help from Maa Durga. Maa Kushmanda, the fourth form of Maa Durga, smiled, and her smile filled the entire universe with light. As it is believed that her gentle smile created the universe, that is the reason why she came to be known as Kushmanda.
Devi resides within the realm of the Sun. That’s why her complexion and radiance shine like the Sun, and her brilliance illuminates in all ten directions. Her energy spreads throughout all living beings, creatures, and objects in the universe.
On the fourth day of Navratri, devotees who worship Maa Kushmanda with complete faith and according to the proper rituals are believed to receive happiness, prosperity, and progress. Her worship is believed to remove illness and sorrow and increase fame and longevity.
Kushmanda Jay Jag Sukhadani। Mujh Par Daya Karo Mahaarani।।
Piganla Jvaalaamukhi Nirali। Shaakambari Maa Bholi Bhali।।
Laakhon Naam Nirale Tere । Bhakt Kai Matavale Tere।।
Bheema Parvat Par Hai Dera। Sveekaro Pranaam Ye Mera।।
Sabaki Sunati Ho Jagadambe। Sukh Pahunchati Ho Maa Ambe।।
Tere Darshan Ka Main Pyaasa। Poorn Kar Do Meri Aasha।।
Maa Ke Man Mein Mamata Bhari। Kyon Na Sunegee Araj Hamari।।
Tere Dar Par Kiya Hai Dera। Door Karo Maa Sankat Mera।।
Mere Kaaraj Poore Kar Do। Mere Tum Bhandaare Bhar Do।।
Tera Daas Tujhe Hee Dhyae। Bhakt Tere Dar Sheesh Jhukae।।
