दुर्गा होमम्

Durga Homa

For strength, victory and removal of disputes · Goddess Durga

The Durga Homa invokes the Divine Mother in her form as the slayer of negativity. It bestows physical and mental strength, removes disputes and enemies, and grants victory over difficulties.

Sacred Mantra

ॐ

“Om Dum Durgaayai Namah · Om Aim Hreem Kleem Chamundaayai Vichche”

What it feels like

When the Devi Mahatmyam is chanted and the flames rise red, you understand why the Mother is called Shakti. The Durga Homa fills you with a quiet, surprising courage — the certainty that whatever stands against you will not stand for long.
