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.
