दुर्गा चालीसा, Durga Chalisa: Goddess Maa Durga is revered by her devotees as one of the most formidable deities, known for her roles in protection, warfare, and strength. She is often addressed as Maa Durga and is synonymous with Devi and Shakti, symbolizing ultimate power.

Durga Chalisa | दुर्गा चालीसा

According to a legend, Goddess Durga was brought into existence by Lord Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva to vanquish the formidable buffalo demon, Mahishasura. Recognizing their collective inadequacy to defeat Mahishasura, the three deities infused their energy into Goddess Durga.

The iconic representation of Goddess Durga depicts her astride a lion, bearing ten arms, each wielding a weapon bestowed upon her for her battle against Mahishasura. Devotees across the country worship Durga Maa in diverse ways.

Reading the Durga Chalisa is believed to be one of the simplest means of seeking the blessings of Maa Durga. 

This 40-verse hymn is recited, especially during the Navaratri festival, to extol Goddess Durga's power, describing her beauty, courage, strength, and her legendary battles with demons. Devotees turn to the Chalisa for its remarkable benefits and blessings.

॥ माँ दुर्गा चालीसा॥

नमो नमो दुर्गे सुख करनी।
नमो नमो दुर्गे दुःख हरनी॥
निरंकार है ज्योति तुम्हारी।
तिहूं लोक फैली उजियारी॥

शशि ललाट मुख महाविशाला।
नेत्र लाल भृकुटि विकराला॥
रूप मातु को अधिक सुहावे।
दरश करत जन अति सुख पावे॥

तुम संसार शक्ति लै कीना।
पालन हेतु अन्न धन दीना॥
अन्नपूर्णा हुई जग पाला।
तुम ही आदि सुन्दरी बाला॥

प्रलयकाल सब नाशन हारी।
तुम गौरी शिवशंकर प्यारी॥
शिव योगी तुम्हरे गुण गावें।
ब्रह्मा विष्णु तुम्हें नित ध्यावें॥

रूप सरस्वती को तुम धारा।
दे सुबुद्धि ऋषि मुनिन उबारा॥
धरयो रूप नरसिंह को अम्बा।
परगट भई फाड़कर खम्बा॥

रक्षा करि प्रह्लाद बचायो।
हिरण्याक्ष को स्वर्ग पठायो॥
लक्ष्मी रूप धरो जग माहीं।
श्री नारायण अंग समाहीं॥

क्षीरसिन्धु में करत विलासा।
दयासिन्धु दीजै मन आसा॥
हिंगलाज में तुम्हीं भवानी।
महिमा अमित न जात बखानी॥

मातंगी अरु धूमावति माता।
भुवनेश्वरी बगला सुख दाता॥
श्री भैरव तारा जग तारिणी।
छिन्न भाल भव दुःख निवारिणी॥

केहरि वाहन सोह भवानी।
लांगुर वीर चलत अगवानी॥
कर में खप्पर खड्ग विराजै।
जाको देख काल डर भाजै॥

सोहै अस्त्र और त्रिशूला।
जाते उठत शत्रु हिय शूला॥
नगरकोट में तुम्हीं विराजत।
तिहुंलोक में डंका बाजत॥

शुंभ निशुंभ दानव तुम मारे।
रक्तबीज शंखन संहारे॥
महिषासुर नृप अति अभिमानी।
जेहि अघ भार मही अकुलानी॥

रूप कराल कालिका धारा।
सेन सहित तुम तिहि संहारा॥
परी गाढ़ संतन पर जब जब।
भई सहाय मातु तुम तब तब॥

अमरपुरी अरु बासव लोका।
तब महिमा सब रहें अशोका॥
ज्वाला में है ज्योति तुम्हारी।
तुम्हें सदा पूजें नर-नारी॥

प्रेम भक्ति से जो यश गावें।
दुःख दारिद्र निकट नहिं आवें॥
ध्यावे तुम्हें जो नर मन लाई।
जन्म-मरण ताकौ छुटि जाई॥

जोगी सुर मुनि कहत पुकारी।
योग न हो बिन शक्ति तुम्हारी॥
शंकर आचारज तप कीनो।
काम अरु क्रोध जीति सब लीनो॥

निशिदिन ध्यान धरो शंकर को।
काहु काल नहिं सुमिरो तुमको॥
शक्ति रूप का मरम न पायो।
शक्ति गई तब मन पछितायो॥

शरणागत हुई कीर्ति बखानी।
जय जय जय जगदम्ब भवानी॥
भई प्रसन्न आदि जगदम्बा।
दई शक्ति नहिं कीन विलम्बा॥

मोको मातु कष्ट अति घेरो।
तुम बिन कौन हरै दुःख मेरो॥
आशा तृष्णा निपट सतावें।
मोह मदादिक सब बिनशावें॥

शत्रु नाश कीजै महारानी।
सुमिरौं इकचित तुम्हें भवानी॥
करो कृपा हे मातु दयाला।
ऋद्धि-सिद्धि दै करहु निहाला।

जब लगि जिऊं दया फल पाऊं ।
तुम्हरो यश मैं सदा सुनाऊं॥
दुर्गा चालीसा जो कोई गावै।
सब सुख भोग परमपद पावै॥

देवीदास शरण निज जानी।
करहु कृपा जगदम्ब भवानी॥
